Famous quotes containing the words select and/or instruction:

    “Here lies the body of Sir John Guise.
    Nobody laughs, and nobody cries;
    Where his soul is and how it fares
    Nobody knows and nobody cares.”
    —Anonymous. From Frobisher’s New Select Collection of Epitaphs (c. 1791)

    “A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”
    —Mary Antin (1881–1949)
