Silly Roll Call

Famous quotes containing the words silly, roll and/or call:

    “You must labour to acquire that great and uncommon talent of hating with good breeding, and loving with prudence; to make no quarrel irreconcilable by silly and unnecessary indications of anger; and no friendship dangerous, in care it breaks, by a wanton, indiscreet, and unreserved confidence.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
    To mourn, and murmur and repine,
    To see the wicked placed on high,
    In pride and robes of honor shine.
    But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
    Thy sanctuary taught me so,
    On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
    And fiery billows roll below.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “You live by writing
    Your poems on a farm and call that farming.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
