Famous quotes containing the words complete, plays, richard and/or steele:

    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
    She that has that is clad in complete steel,
    And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
    May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
    Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
    Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
    No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
    Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    He who plays advisor is no longer ambassador.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    I don’t know how you feel, professor, but I feel like a knife that’s just stabbed a friend in the back.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Ned Land (Kirk Douglas)

    To conclude his Character, where Women are not concerned, he is an honest worthy Man.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)
