3 QUOTES WITH «SPRIGHTLY»
Famous quotes and sentences with the word
sprightly.
Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
Women are only children of a larger growth. A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.
