Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or otway:

    If worship have kept me, I had not gone.
    If wit might have me saved, I needed not fear.
    —Sir Thomas More (1478–1535)

    Happy a while in Paradise they lay;
    But quickly woman longed to go astray:
    Some foolish new adventure needs must prove,
    And the first devil she saw, she chang’d her love:
    To his temptations, lewdly she inclined
    Her soul, and, for an apple, damn’d mankind.
    —Thomas Otway (1652–1685)
