Sir Greville

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or greville:

    Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.

    Three things there be in man’s opinion dear,
    Fame, many friends, and fortune’s dignities:
    False visions all, which in our sense appear,
    To sanctify desire’s idolatry.
