Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or stock:

    “With wavering steps does fickle fortune stray,
    Nowhere she finds a firm and fixed abode;
    But now all smiles, and now again all frowns,
    She’s constant only in inconstancy.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “However low and poor the taking Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)
