Famous quotes containing the words triple and/or alliance:

    The triple pillar of the world transformed
    Into a strumpet’s fool.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
