Sheridan

Famous quotes containing the word sheridan:

    For if there is anything to one’s praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse—why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by,
    With thy proudly-arched and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye!
    —Caroline Sheridan Norton (1808–1877)

    Take care; you know I am compliance itself, when I am not thwarted! No one more easily led, when I have my own way; but don’t put me in a phrenzy.
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
