Learnt

Famous quotes containing the word learnt:

“Among those few, out of the sun,
The woodspurge flowered, three cups in one.

From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory:
One thing then learnt remains to me,—
The woodspurge has a cup of three.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

“Their martyred blood and ashes sow
O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“I am sorry I have not learnt to play at cards. It is very useful in life: it generates kindness, and consolidates society.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
