Famous quotes containing the words line and/or plots:
“For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions; but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.”
—Aristotle (384322 B.C.)
“O opportunity! thy guilt is great,
Tis thou that executst the traitors treason;
Thou setst the wolf where he the lamb may get;
Whoever plots the sin, thou pointst the season;
Tis thou that spurnst at right, at law, at reason;
And in thy shady cell, where none may spy him,
Sits Sin to seize the souls that wander by him.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
