Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or williams:

    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)

    just like you sitting
    there they come and talk to me, just the same.

    They come to bother us. Why? I said I don’t
    know. Perhaps to find out what we are doing.
    Jealous, do you think? I don’t know.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
