Passing Score

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or score:

“On a day—alack the day—
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton air.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
