Taylor

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:

    One sorry fret,
    An anvill Sparke, rose higher,
    And in thy Temple falling, almost set
    The house on fire.
    Such fireballs dropping in the Temple Flame
    Burns up the building: Lord, forbid the same.
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
