Famous quotes containing the words fourth, ring, society and/or talks:

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    This is the gospel of labour, ring it, ye bells of the kirk!
    The Lord of Love came down from above, to live with the men who work.
    This is the rose that He planted, here in the thorn-curst soil:
    Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of Earth is toil.
    Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

    In every society some men are born to rule, and some to advise.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He thinks like a Tory, and talks like a Radical, and that’s so important nowadays.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
