Famous quotes containing the words final and/or laps:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Theyll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
Theyll tell the clock to any business that
We say befits the hour.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
