Tables

Famous quotes containing the word tables:

“O these encounterers, so glib of tongue,
That give a coasting welcome ere it comes,
And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts
To every ticklish reader! Set them down
For sluttish spoils of opportunity
And daughters of the game.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
Move tables closer.”
