Peter Norfolk - Grand Slam Titles

Famous quotes containing the words grand, slam and/or titles:

“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)

“It’s not a slam at you when people are rude—it’s a slam at the people they’ve met before.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
