Famous quotes containing the word flights:
“Franklin said once in one of his inspired flights of malignity—
Early to bed and early to rise
Make a man healthy and wealth and wise.
As if it were any object to a boy to be healthy and wealthy and wise on such terms.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
