Famous quotes containing the words sir, francis and/or drake:
“There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weights, and tears no bitterness;”
—Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)
“The advantage of time and place in all practical actions is half a victory; which being lost is irrecoverable.”
—Francis, Sir Drake (1540–1596)
