Famous quotes containing the word long:

    “Then think I thus: sith such repair,
    So long time war of valiant men,
    Was all to win a lady fair,
    Shall I not learn to suffer then,
    And think my life well spent to be,
    Serving a worthier wight than she?”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
