Famous quotes containing the words daniel and/or lean:

    If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
    Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
    My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
    Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
    If this be love, to live a living death,
    Then do I love and draw this weary breath.
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    Falstaff sweats to death,
    And lards the lean earth as he walks along.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
