Famous quotes containing the word swallow:
“You cannot make women contented with cooking and cleaning and you need not try.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (18421911)
“To dine! she shrieked in dragon-wrath.
To swallow wines all foam and froth!
To simper at a table-cloth!
Say, can thy noble spirit stoop
To join the gormandising troop
Who find solace in the soup?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The Good of man is the active exercise of his souls faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384322 B.C.)
