Famous quotes containing the words john w and/or wilcox:

    Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright,
    But looked to near, have neither heat nor light.
    John Webster (1580–1625)

    Give us that grand word “woman” once again,
    And let’s have done with “lady”; one’s a term
    Full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm,
    Fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen;
    And one’s a word for lackeys.
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
