Famous quotes containing the words nail and/or conditions:

    They will nail you up twixt thieves
    And gamble for your little garments.

    And in this you will exceed God
    For on this earth
    You shall know Hell—
    Frank Horne (b. 1899)

The stress is in our civilization.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
