Single Uncle Jam

Famous quotes containing the words single, uncle and/or jam:

    The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person, and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle;
    I am no traitor’s uncle, and that word “grace”
    In an ungracious mouth is but profane.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If you hadn’t been in such a hurry to cremate me, I wouldn’t be in the jam I’m in now.
    Seton I. Miller (1902–1974)
