Famous quotes containing the words hazard and/or stevens:
““Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.”
Must give—for what? for lead, hazard for lead?
This casket threatens. Men that hazard all
Do it in hope of fair advantages;
A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We enjoy the ithy oonts and long-haired
Plomets, as the Herr Gott
Enjoys his comets.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
