Lord Spite

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or spite:

    Most Gracious Queen, we thee implore
    To go away and sin no more,
    But if that effort be too great,
    To go away at any rate.

    In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.
