Famous quotes containing the words single and/or piece:
“You have beheld a smiling Rose
When Virgins hands have drawn
Or it a Cobweb-Lawne:
And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
Tombd in a Christal stone,
More faire in this transparent case,
Than when it grew alone;
And had but single grace.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“The first man, who after enclosing a piece of ground, took it into his head to say, this is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (17121778)
