Greater Part

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or part:

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

    ... in no part of the world is genteel visiting founded on esteem, in the absence of suitable furniture and complete dinner-service.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
