Sir Richard Francis

Famous quotes containing the words sir, richard and/or francis:

    “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)

    “Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.”
    —Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    “Do not conceale no beauty grace,
    That’s either in thy minde or face,
    Least vertue overcome by vice,
    Make men beleeve no Paradice.”
    —Sir Francis Kynaston (1587–1642)
