House Edge

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or edge:

“I sometimes left a good fire when I went to take a walk in a winter afternoon; and when I returned, three or four hours afterward, it would be still alive and glowing. My house was not empty though I was gone. It was as if I had left a cheerful housekeeper behind. It was I and Fire that lived there; and commonly my housekeeper proved trustworthy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen
As is the razor’s edge invisible.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
