Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,
    I shot his fellow of the self-same flight
    The self-same way with more advised watch
    To find the other forth, and by adventuring both
    I oft found both.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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

    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)
