Famous quotes containing the words box, office and/or performance:
“We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“His [the President’s] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Still be kind,
And eke out our performance with your mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
