Famous quotes containing the words russell, sage and/or foundation:

    No man is born into the world, whose work
    Is not born with him; there is always work,
    And tools to work withal, for those who will:
    And blessèd are the horny hands of toil!
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Ah, gentle dames! it gars me greet,
    To think how mony counsels sweet,
    How mony lengthen’d, sage advices,
    The husband frae the wife despises!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?
    William Morris (1834–1896)
