Famous quotes containing the words mantle and/or length:
“There are a sort of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.”
—Bible: Hebrew Job 12:12.
