Fox Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words fox and/or appeared:

    His berd as any sowe or fox was reed,
    And therto brood, as though it were a spade.
    Upon the cop right of his nose he hade
    A werte, and theron stood a toft of herys
    Reed as the brustles of a sowes erys.
    His nosethirles blake were and wyde.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    It is a great advantage for any man to be able to talk or hear, neither ignorantly nor absurdly, upon any subject; for I have known people, who have not said one word, hear ignorantly and absurdly; it has appeared by their inattentive and unmeaning faces.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
