Famous quotes containing the words figures of, figures and/or merit:
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,

people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Be thou the first true merit to befriend;
His praise is lost who stays till all commend.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
