Famous quotes containing the words light and/or titles:
“Heaven doth with us as we with torches do,
Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues
Did not go forth of us, twere all alike
As if we had them not.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
