Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or estate:
“I have seen it over and over, the same sea, the same,

icily free above the stones,
above the stones and then the world.”

“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 Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
