Bentley Wood High

Famous quotes containing the words bentley, wood and/or high:

    Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.
    —Richard Bentley (1662–1742)

    It is not night when I do see your face,
    Therefore I think I am not in the night;
    Nor doth this wood lack worlds of company,
    For you, in my respect, are all the world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No man rises so high as he knows not whither he goes.
    Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)
