Bay Devil Rays

Famous quotes containing the words bay, devil and/or rays:

    Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.
    William James (1842–1910)

    In vain produced, all rays return;
    Evil will bless, and ice will burn.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
