Celebration Quotation – January 19, 2016

Today’s quote comes from Measure for Measure:

"O, it is excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant." - Measure for Measure, Act II, Scene 2

The image is Sarah Siddons – one of the most famous actresses of the 18th Century.  She was best known for her tragic roles, and highly celebrated in British society.  This portrait from 1875 is by German artist Johann Heinrich Ramberg.
