Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or fleetwood:

    Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has; but I am a great eater of beef, and I believe that does harm to my wit.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I sowed the seeds of love,
    It was all in the spring,
    In April, May, and June, likwise,
    When small birds they do sing.
    —Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)
