Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

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

    Fair Liberty was all his cry;
    For her he stood prepared to die;
    For her he boldly stood alone;
    For her he oft exposed his own.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
    In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
    Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
    By the imprisoning of unruly wind
    Within her womb, which, for enlargement striving,
    Shakes the old beldame earth, and topples down
    Steeples and moss-grown towers.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
