Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or match:
“There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every mans title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Theres not a man or woman
Born under the skies
Dare match in learning with us two,
And all day long we have found
Theres not a thing but love can make
The world a narrow pound.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
