Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or walter:
“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)
“Our passions are most like to floods and streams,
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
