Grey Livery

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or livery:

“Sir, a man who cannot get to heaven in a green coat, will not find his way thither the sooner in a grey one.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
