Famous quotes containing the word bad:
“Of Ickworths boys, their fathers joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parsons fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppys name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
“When a poor disconsolated drooping creature is terrified from all enjoyment,prays without ceasing till his imagination is heated,fasts and mortifies and mopes, till his body is in as bad a plight as his mind; is it a wonder, that the mechanical disturbances ... of an empty belly, interpreted by an empty head, should be mistook for [the] workings [of God].”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
