Famous quotes containing the words fat and/or volumes:
“Our hands are full of business, let’s away,
Advantage feeds him fat while men delay.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“These volumes contain not the highest, but a very practicable wisdom, which startles and provokes, rather than informs us. Carlyle does not oblige us to think; we have thought enough for him already, but he compels us to act.”
