Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or shift:
“Now mark me how I will undo myself.
I give this heavy weight from off my head,
And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I will use the world and sift it,
To a thousand humors shift it,
As you spin a cherry.”
