Famous quotes containing the word estate:
“I gin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish th estate o the world were now undone.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortunes angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?1592)
