Famous quotes containing the words capital and/or partners:
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgiums capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone oer fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like ones partners in the waltz of this worldnot much remembered when the ball is over.”
