Blows

Famous quotes containing the word blows:

Money I had, and it went in the night,
Strong drink I had, and it brought me to sorrow,
But a good strong cause and blows are delight.”

“On, on, my darling man.””

Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world
Hath so incensed that I am reckless what
I do to spite the world.”
