Double Ten Day

Famous quotes containing the words double, ten and/or day:

    He does me double wrong
    That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
    Bible: Hebrew Exodus 20:12, one of the Ten Commandments.

    Shakespeare carries us to such a lofty strain of intelligent activity, as to suggest a wealth which beggars his own; and we then feel that the splendid works which he has created, and which in other hours we extol as a sort of self-existent poetry, take no stronger hold of real nature than the shadow of a passing traveller on the rock. The inspiration which uttered itself in Hamlet and Lear could utter things as good from day to day, for ever.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
