Wedding Set

Famous quotes containing the words wedding and/or set:

    Men may conseile a womman to be oon,
    But conseiling nis no comandement.
    He putte it in oure owene juggement.
    For hadde God comanded maidenhede,
    Thanne hadde he dampned wedding with the deede;
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
