Famous quotes containing the words glorious and/or excess:
“Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
I see their glorious black eyes shine;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning tear-drop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.”
