Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or fork:
“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 (17131768)
“Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adders fork and blind-worms sting,
Lizards leg and owlets wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
