Famous quotes containing the words wednesday, cricket and/or club:
“Moneys is your suit.
What should I say to you? Should I not say,
Hath a dog money? Is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats? Or
Shall I bend low and in a bondmans key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness,
Say this:
Fair sir, you spat on me on Wednesday last,
You spurned me such a day, another time
You called me dog; and for these courtesies
Ill lend you thus much moneys?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summers final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“Please accept my resignation. I dont care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.”
—Groucho Marx (18951977)
