Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    We are oft to blame in this,
    ‘Tis too much proved, that with devotion’s visage
    And pious action we do sugar o’er
    The devil himself.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And ten low words oft creep in one dull line:
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
    By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
    The first at least of these I thought denied
    To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
    Created mute to all articulate sound;
    The latter I demur, for in their looks
    Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
