Famous quotes containing the words position and/or lights:
“It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.”

“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
