Feet Fixed Buffer

Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:

    A word perhaps loud spoken you may get,
    Or hear our feet when heavily they tread;
    But he who speaks, or him who’s spoken to,
    Must both remain as strangers still to you.
    Jones Very (1831–1880)

    The nation looked upon him as a deserter, and he shrunk into insignificancy and an earldom.... He was fixed in the house of lords, that hospital of incurables, and his retreat to popularity was cut off; for the confidence of the public, when once great and once lost, is never to be regained.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
