Constant Allowances

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or allowances:

    Sigh no more Ladies, sigh no more
    Men were deceivers ever,
    One foote in Sea, and one on shore,
    To one thing constant never,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Authors have established it as a kind of rule, that a man ought to be dull sometimes; as the most severe reader makes allowances for many rests and nodding-places in a voluminous writer.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
