Lines Work

Famous quotes containing the words lines and/or work:

    When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
    Such was their luster, they did so excel,
    That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
    My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
    Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
    Decking the sense as if it were to sell.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Your children and grandchildren will have their share of happiness; there’s no need to work a like a horse for them.
    Chinese proverb.
