Steele

Famous quotes containing the word steele:

    Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    I allow a Beauty to be as much to be commended for the Elegance of her Dress, as a Wit for that of his Language; yet if she has stolen the Colour of her Ribbands from another, or had Advice about her Trimmings, I shall not allow her the Praise of Dress, any more than I would call a Plagiary an Author.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    On thee alone my hope relies;
    Beneath thy cross I fall,
    My Lord, my life, my sacrifice,
    My Saviour, and my all.
    —Anne Steele (1717–1778)
