Famous quotes containing the word broad:

    “It will be no excuse to an idle and untoward servant, who would not attend his business by candle-light, to plead that he had not broad sun-shine. The candle, that is set up in us, shines bright enough for all our purposes.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
