Straight Column

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or column:

“He serveth the servant,
The brave he loves amain;
He kills the cripple and the sick,
And straight begins again.
For gods delight in gods,
And thrust the weak aside;
To him who scorns their charities,
Their arms fly open wide.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Never have anything to do with the near surviving representatives of anyone whose name appears in the death column of the Times as having “passed away.””
