Bottom Posting

Famous quotes containing the words bottom and/or posting:

    I thank my fortune for it,
    My ventures are not in one bottom trusted,
    Nor to one place.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky;
    It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by;
    For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat,
    With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
