Ill

Famous quotes containing the word ill:

“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

“Proclaiming what choices there are
For the last dancers of their kind,

For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Against ill chances men are ever merry,
But heaviness foreruns the good event.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
