Sail Set

Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or set:

    Was it the proud full sail of his great verse,
    Bound for the prize of all too precious you,
    That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inherse,
    Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew?
    Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write
    Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Ceremony was but devised at first
    To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,
    Recanting goodness, sorry ere ‘tis shown;
    But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
