Small Drains

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or drains:

    Little Jesus, wast Thou shy
    Once, and just so small as I?
    And what did it feel like to be
    Out of Heaven, and just like me?
    Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    I change, and so do women too;
    But I reflect—which women seldom do.
    Tobacco is a filthy weed,
    That from the devil doth proceed;
    That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
    That makes a chimney of your nose.
    —Anonymous. “Written on a Looking Glass,” from Geoffrey Grigson’s Faber Book of Epigrams and Epitaphs, Faber & Faber (1977)
