Single Fairlie

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or fairlie:

    And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove’s,
    The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The foundation of humility is truth. The humble man sees himself as he is. If his depreciation of himself were untrue,... it would not be praiseworthy, and would be a form of hypocrisy, which is one of the evils of Pride. The man who is falsely humble, we know from our own experience, is one who is falsely proud.
    —Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
