Famous quotes containing the words ill and/or read:
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Let him read what is proper to him, and not waste his memory on a crowd of mediocrities.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
