Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or leaves:

“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”

“He, who, in view of its inconsistencies, says of human nature the same that, in view of its contrasts, is said of the divine nature, that it is past finding out, thereby evinces a better appreciation of it than he who, by always representing it in a clear light, leaves it to be inferred that he clearly knows all about it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
