Famous quotes containing the words single and/or throw:
“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)
“No body can conceive that nature ever intended to throw away a Newton upon the occupations of a crown. It would have been a prodigality for which even the conduct of providence might have been arraigned, had he been by birth annexed to what was so far below him.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
