Fall

Famous quotes containing the word fall:

“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.

“The bay-trees in our country are all withered,
And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven.
The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,
And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change.
Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap;
The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
The other to enjoy by rage and war.
These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
