Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or address:

    Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air.... It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog’s life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The English, the plain English, of the politest address of a gentleman to a lady is, “I am now, dear Madam, your humble servant: Pray be so good as to let me be your Lord and Master.”
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
