Famous quotes containing the word simple:

    “Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “A creature not too bright or good
    For human nature’s daily food;
    For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
    Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
