Base Form Ends

Famous quotes containing the words base, form and/or ends:

    Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
    Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
    To smother up his beauty from the world,
    That when he please again to be himself,
    Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
    By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
    Of vapors that did seem to strangle him
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.
    Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    Make me thy Loome: thy Grace the warfe therein,
    My duties Woofe, and let thy word winde Quills.
    The shuttle shoot. Cut off the ends my sins.
    Thy Ordinances make my fulling mills,
    My Life thy Web: and cloath me all my dayes
    With this Gold-web of Glory to thy praise.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
