Famous quotes containing the word oft:
“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)
“I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
