Chestnut Base Coat

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or coat:

“I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and “manage” by base arts a husband or a father,—I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)

“Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.”
