Famous quotes containing the words meagre, set and/or game:

Of famine fed upon all entrails—men
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devour’d,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“In the lack of judgment great harm arises, but one vote cast can set right a house.”
