World Cup Bid

Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or bid:

    “What are the characteristics of today’s world so that one may recognize it by them?” It pays pensions and borrows money: credit and monuments.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.
    Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)

    O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
