Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or sixteen:
“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
“Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
