Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

““What may this mean? Language of Man pronounced
By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed!
The first at least of these I thought denied
To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
Created mute to all articulate sound;
The latter I demur, for in their looks
Much reason, and in their actions, oft appears.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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)
