Famous quotes containing the words successful, drop and/or kick:
“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
“As easy mayst thou fall
A drop of water in the breaking gulf,
And take unmingled thence that drop again,
Without addition or diminishing,
As take from me thyself and not me too.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Last seasons fruit is eaten
And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail.
For last years words belong to last years language
And next years words await another voice.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
