Passed Uncut

Famous quotes containing the words passed and/or uncut:

    “A young man in the dark am I
    But a wild old man in the light
    That can make a cat laugh, or
    Can touch by mother wit
    Things hid in their marrow bones
    From time long passed away....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the ordinary course of things, how many succeed in society merely by virtue of their manners, while others, however meritorious, fail through lack of them? After all, it’s only barbarians who wear uncut precious stones.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
