Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    “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)

    “Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”
    —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)
