Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or trunk:

    “No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.”

    “Let me have
    A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear
    As will disperse itself through all the veins
    That the life-weary taker may fall dead,
    And that the trunk may be discharged of breath
    As violently as hasty powder fired
    Doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
