Lord John Russell

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or russell:

    “Good my lord,
    You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
    Return those duties back as are right fit,
    Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
    Why have my sisters husbands if they say
    They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
    That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
    Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
    Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
    To love my father all.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Sincerity is impossible, unless it pervade the whole being, and the pretence of it saps the very foundation of character.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
