Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:
“The stairway is not

for angels’ feet that only glance in their tread, and need not
touch the stone.”

“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)
