Famous quotes containing the words stanley and/or cup:

    Learn by our friendship to create
    An immaterial fire,
    —Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
