Famous quotes containing the words high, court and/or shifted:

    “Why does not the kitten betray some of the attributes common to the adult puss? A puppy is but a dog, plus high spirits, and minus common sense. We never hear our friends say they love puppies, but cannot bear dogs. A kitten is a thing apart; and many people who lack the discriminating enthusiasm for cats, who regard these beautiful beasts with aversion and mistrust, are won over easily, and cajoled out of their prejudices, by the deceitful wiles of kittenhood.”
    —Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)

    “Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering,
    When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing:
    When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios and stuff,
    He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
