Famous quotes containing the words plan, tower and/or house:
“Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright:
Who, with a natural instinct to discern
What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
And in himself posses his own desire;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“The tower nearest the water gets the moonlight first.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
