Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or head:
“The nation looked upon him as a deserter, and he shrunk into insignificancy and an earldom.... He was fixed in the house of lords, that hospital of incurables, and his retreat to popularity was cut off; for the confidence of the public, when once great and once lost, is never to be regained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Woman is the crown of all creation, but Man is the head who wears it, and even the servant is master in his house.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
