Sharp Edge

Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or edge:

“For most men, and most circumstances, pleasure—tangible material prosperity in this world—is the safest test of virtue. Progress has ever been through the pleasures rather than through the extreme sharp virtues, and the most virtuous have leaned to excess rather than to asceticism.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen
As is the razor’s edge invisible.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
