Famous quotes containing the word brinsley:

    Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
    Here’s to the widow of fifty;
    Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
    And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
    Let the toast pass,—
    Drink to the lass,
    I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    For let ‘em be clumsy, or let ‘em be slim,
    Young or ancient, I care not a feather;
    So fill a pint bumper quite up to the brim,
    And let us e’en toast them together.
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    An unforgiving eye, and a damned disinheriting countenance!
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
