Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or long:
“It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.”
—Francis De Sales, Saint (1567–1622)
“Great talents, by the rust of long disuse,
Grow lethargic and shrink from what they were.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
