Sir Henry Vane

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or henry:

    There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Turn up the lights; I don’t want to go home in the dark.
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
