Famous quotes containing the word base:

    Your base has spread too wide,
    For you to roll one stone
    Down if you tried.

    Music is of two kinds: one petty, poor, second-rate, never varying, its base the hundred or so phrasings which all musicians understand, a babbling which is more or less pleasant, the life that most composers live.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
