Admirable

Famous quotes containing the word admirable:

“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Feste. Beshrew me, the knight’s in admirable fooling.

—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“An admirable musician! O, she will sing the savageness out of a bear!”
