Famous quotes containing the words gorgeous and/or winter:
“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need—
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He is the rich man, and enjoys the fruits of riches, who summer and winter forever can find delight in his own thoughts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
