Famous quotes containing the word edward:

    “Some have too much, yet still do crave;
    I little have, and seek no more.
    They are but poor, though much they have,
    And I am rich with little store.
    They poor, I rich; they beg, I give;
    They lack, I leave; they pine, I live.”
    —Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)
