Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or left:
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winters cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I tell you there isnt a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless its bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
