Oft

Famous quotes containing the word oft:

    The wit of man has devised cruel statutes,
    And nature oft permits what is by law forbid.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    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)

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