Famous quotes containing the words russell, venom and/or time:

    Dear common flower, that grow’st beside the way,
    Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold,
    First pledge of blithesome May,
    Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold,
    Hight-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they
    An Eldorado in the grass have found,
    Which not the rich earth’s ample round
    May match in wealth—thou art more dear to me
    Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    The venom clamors of a jealous woman
    Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Nothing ought in reason to mortify our self-satisfaction more that the considering that we condemn at one time what we highly approve and commend at another.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
