Famous quotes containing the words sharps and/or bond:
“Rats!
They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles,
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
And even spoiled the women’s chats
By drowning their speaking
With shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“They lived under a just and moderate government, and they admitted that one bond of their fidelity was that their rulers were the better men.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
