Famous quotes containing the words street, fighting and/or man:

    I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
    Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
    If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
    And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    In fighting there are no light blows; in cursing, no gentle words.
    Chinese proverb.

    Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
