Wing Design

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or design:

    Ignorance is the curse of God,
    Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
