Hot Deserts

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or deserts:

    “I am ashamed
    That thou hast power to shake my manhood thus,

    “Sometimes, when I compare myself with other men, it seems as if I were more favored by the gods than they, beyond any deserts that I am conscious of; as if I had a warrant and surety at their hands which my fellows have not, and were especially guided and guarded. I do not flatter myself, but if it be possible they flatter me.”
