Famous quotes containing the words poor, sleep and/or quality:
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This sleep is sound indeed, this is a sleep
That from this golden rigol hath divorced
So many English kings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A country can be judged by the quality of its proverbs.”
—German proverb.
