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

    We place no particular value upon the possession of a virtue until we detect its complete absence in our adversary.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The plays of children are nonsense, but very educative nonsense. So it is with the largest and solemnest things, with commerce, government, church, marriage, and so with the history of every man’s bread, and the ways by which he is to come by it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If you have got the public in the palm of your hand, you can be sure that is where they want to be.
    —Cliff Richard (b. 1940)

    It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)
