Famous quotes containing the word oft:
“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”

“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)
“Thy best of rest is sleep,
And that thou oft provok’st, yet grossly fear’st
Thy death, which is no more.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
