Famous quotes containing the words sixth, man and/or award:
“The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A man calumniated is doubly injured—first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.”
