Famous quotes containing the words keith and/or ball:

    If the barricades went up in our streets and the poor became masters, I think the priests would escape, I fear the gentlemen would; but I believe the gutters would simply be running with the blood of philanthropists.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    ‘Throw down the ball, ye Jew’s daughter,
    Throw down the ball to me!’
    ‘Never a bit,’ says the Jew’s daughter,
    ‘Till up to me come ye.’
    Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 13–16)
