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)

Do be my enemy for friendship’s sake.”
