Famous quotes containing the word base:
“I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and manage by base arts a husband or a father,I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (18221904)
