Famous quotes containing the words high and/or court:

    And hearts that once beat high for praise
    Now feel that pulse no more!
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    Fortunately for those who pay their court through such foibles, a fond mother, though, in pursuit of praise for her children, the most rapacious of human beings, is likewise the most credulous; her demands are exorbitant; but she will swallow any thing.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
