Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or mistress:
“Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“So, when my mistress shall be seen
In form and beauty of her mind,
By virtue first, then choice, a queen,”
—Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
