Famous quotes containing the words house and/or estate:
“A man’s worst enemies are those
Of his own house & family;
And he who makes his law a curse,
By his own law shall surely die.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“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)
