Thus when a barber and collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collier--white; The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And, big with vengeance, beats the barber--black. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'er spread, And beats the collier and the barber--red; Black, red, and white, in various clouds are toss'd, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost. - Christopher Smart, A Trip to Cambridge, soliloquy of the Princess Periwinkle In excessive altercation, truth is lost. [Lat., Nimium altercando veritas amittitur.] - Syrus (Publilius Syrus), Maxims Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
