Dirt Spoils

Famous quotes containing the words dirt and/or spoils:

“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“Nothing spoils a romance so much as a sense of humour in the woman.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
