Set Decoration

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or decoration:

    Where be your gibes now, your gambols, your songs, your
    flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a
    roar?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If there be any man who thinks the ruin of a race of men a small matter, compared with the last decoration and completions of his own comfort,—who would not so much as part with his ice- cream, to save them from rapine and manacles, I think I must not hesitate to satisfy that man that also his cream and vanilla are safer and cheaper by placing the negro nation on a fair footing than by robbing them.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
