Ten Virgins

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or virgins:

    “We envy not the warmer clime, that lies
    In ten degrees of more indulgent skies,
    Nor at the coarseness of our heaven repine,
    Though o’er our heads the frozen Pleiads shine:
    ‘Tis Liberty that crowns Britannia’s Isle,
    And makes her barren rocks and her bleak mountains smile.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.”
