Famous quotes containing the words hazard and/or reynolds:
““Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.”
Must give—for what? for lead, hazard for lead?
This casket threatens. Men that hazard all
Do it in hope of fair advantages;
A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When Sir Joshua Reynolds died
All Nature was degraded;”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
