Famous quotes containing the word mansions:
“Gold or silver mansions are not as good as one’s own thatched house.”

Amidst the soundless solitudes immense
Of ranged mansions dark and still as tombs.”

“To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.
‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
—William Shenstone (1714–1763)
