Household Tables

Famous quotes containing the words household and/or tables:

“has Nature shown
her household books to you, daughter-in-law,
that her sons never saw?”

“O these encounterers, so glib of tongue,
That give a coasting welcome ere it comes,
And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts
To every ticklish reader! Set them down
For sluttish spoils of opportunity
And daughters of the game.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
