Famous quotes containing the words match and/or summary:
“One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sun
Ne’er saw her match since first the world begun.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
