Playing Beatie Bow

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or bow:

    The greatest events occur without intention playing any part in them; chance makes good mistakes and undoes the most carefully planned undertaking. The world’s greatest events are not produced, they happen.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    And long shall timorous fancy see
    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)
