High Thrust

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or thrust:

    I affect no contempt for the high eminence he [Senator Stephen Douglas] has reached. So reached, that the oppressed of my species, might have shared with me in the elevation, I would rather stand on that eminence, than wear the richest crown that ever pressed a monarch’s brow.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    A man renowned for repartee
    Will seldom scruple to make free
    With friendship’s finest feeling,
    Will thrust a dagger at your breast,
    And say he wounded you in jest,
    By way of balm for healing.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
