Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    It oft falls out,
    To have what we would have, we speak not what we mean.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)

    How oft upon yon eminence our pace
    Has slackened to a pause, and we have borne
    The ruffling wind, scarce conscious that it blew,
    While admiration, feeding at the eye,
    And still unsated, dwelt upon the scene.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
