Famous quotes containing the words table, latent and/or heats:

    “When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
    When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
    Come live, and be merry, and join with me
    To sing the sweet chorus of ‘Ha, ha, he!’”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
