Sidney/people

Famous quotes containing the words sidney and/or people:

“You that do search for every purling spring
Which from the ribs of old Parnassus flows,
And every flower, not sweet perhaps, which grows
Near thereabouts into your poesy wring;
You that do dictionary’s method bring
Into your rhymes, running in rattling rows;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“When people get old and pearls get yellow, neither are worth much.”
