Odd Girth

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or girth:

    I wonder if his appetite was good?
    Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
    Methinks at meals some odd thoughts might intrude,
    And conscience ask a curious sort of question,
    About the right divine how far we should
    Sell flesh and blood.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    It is said that when manners are licentious, a revolution is always near: the virtue of woman being the main girth and bandage of society; because a man will not lay up an estate for children any longer than whilst he believes them to be his own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
