Man Singh

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or singh:

“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“She saved for tomorrow. When she was asleep, the dog ate up her flour.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
