Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:
“That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society.”

Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
