Quotations for description

For her own person, it beggared all description. [ William Shakespeare ]

Description is always a bore, both to the describer and the describee. [ Benjamin Disraeli ]

No patient will ever recover his health merely from the description of a medicine. [ Hitopadesa ]

A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world. [ Locke ]

Custom is the law of one description of fools, and fashion of another; but the two parties often clash - for precedent is the legislator of the first, and novelty of the last. Custom, therefore, looks to things that are past, and fashion to things that are present. [ Colton ]
