Famous quotes containing the words lucky and/or smells:
“I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven,
It hath the primal eldest curse upon’t,
A brother’s murder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
