Excellent

Famous quotes containing the word excellent:

    When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
    For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
    So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
    From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
    And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
    For making him fully and perfectly man.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Theseus. The best in this kind are but shadows; and the worst are no worse, if imagination amend them.
    Hippolyta. It must be your imagination then, and not theirs.
    Theseus. If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves, they may pass for excellent men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    So excellent a king that was to this
    Hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother
    That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
    Visit her face too roughly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
