Named Deal

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or deal:

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    I am a very foolish fond old man,
    Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less;
    And to deal plainly,
    I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
