Middle English Creole

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or english:

    The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
