Bow Tie Wearers

Famous quotes containing the words bow and/or tie:

    And long shall timorous fancy see
    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
