Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or players:

    loosely bound
    By countless silken ties of love and thought
    To everything on earth the compass round,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Will you see the players well bestowed? Do you hear, let them
    be well used, for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
