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)

    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)

    The art of medicine in the season lies:
    Wine given in season oft will benefit,
    Which out of season injures.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
