Highly

Famous quotes containing the word highly:

    Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes,
    Misprizing what they look on, and her wit
    Values itself so highly that to her
    All matter else seems weak.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    William James once said: “Progress is a terrible thing.” It is more than that: it is also a highly ambiguous notion. For who knows but that a little further on the way a bridge may not have collapsed or a crevice split the earth?
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    a highly respectable gondolier,
    Who promised the Royal babe to rear
    And teach him the trade of a timoneer
    With his own beloved brattling.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
