Poor Condition

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or condition:

    “Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The condition-of-England question is a practical one. The condition of England demands a hero, not a poet.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
