Famous quotes containing the words sea, lion and/or breeding:
“I have ventured
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride
At length broke under me and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream that must forever hide me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If a lion could talk, we could not understand him.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“A man’s own good breeding is his best security against other people’s ill-manners.”
