Famous quotes containing the words vice and/or lords:

    “And they lie like wedges,
    Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end,
    And are a figure of the way the strong
    Of mind and strong of arm should fit together,
    One thick where one is thin and vice versa.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Men of England, wherefore plough
    For the lords who lay ye low?”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
