Famous quotes containing the words greasy and/or luster:
“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Those great and glorious actions that dazzle our eyes with their luster are represented by statesmen as the result of great wisdom and excellent design; whereas, in truth, they are commonly the effects of the humors and passions.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (16131680)
