Famous quotes containing the words front and/or ends:

    Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is great
    To do that thing that ends all other deeds,
    Which shackles accidents and bolts up change.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
