Famous quotes containing the words barrel and/or rochester:
“I am from time to time congratulating myself on my general want of success as a lecturer; apparent want of success, but is it not a real triumph?

So there is no danger of my repeating myself, and getting to a barrel of sermons, which you must upset, and begin again with.”

“The clog of all pleasure, the luggage of life,
Is the best can be said for a very good wife.”
