Famous quotes containing the words falls and/or state:
“Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“In a Kelton church, when a heated argument once began at morning services, a devout old deacon arose from his seat in the amen corner and announced he was going to do for the church what the devil had never doneleave it.”
—Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
