Tenth Century

Famous quotes containing the words tenth and/or century:

“Of Ickworth’s boys, their father’s joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parson’s fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppy’s name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.”
—18th century English proverb, collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)
