Famous quotes containing the word fit:
“As for the graces of expression, a great thought is never found in a mean dress; but ... the nine Muses and the three Graces will have conspired to clothe it in fit phrase. Its education has always been liberal, and its implied wit can endow a college.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“... nothing seems completely to differentiate the poor but poverty. We find no adjectives to fit them, as a whole, only those of which Want is the mother. Miserable covers many; shabby most, and I am sadly aware that, in a large majority of minds, disagreeable includes them all.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (18651933)
“These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymos mad againe.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih shantih shantih”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
