Single Character

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or character:

    “You have beheld a smiling Rose
    When Virgins hands have drawn
    O’r it a Cobweb-Lawne:
    And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
    Tomb’d in a Christal stone,
    More faire in this transparent case,
    Than when it grew alone;
    And had but single grace.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man’s character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.”
