Twenty Grades

Famous quotes containing the words twenty and/or grades:

    “In those rare days, the press was seldom known to snarl or bark,
    But sweetly sang of men in pow’r, like any tuneful lark;
    Grave judges, too, to all their evil deeds were in the dark;
    And not a man in twenty score knew how to make his mark.
    Oh the fine old English Tory times;”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

    “There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
