Famous quotes containing the words press and/or enterprise:
“I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“In enterprise of martial kind, When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind— He found it less exciting.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
