Famous quotes containing the words plays, beaumont and/or fletcher:
“Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Know from this the world’s a snare,
How that greatness is but care,
How all pleasures are but pain,
And how short they do remain:”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
“All Love’s Emblems and all cry,
Ladies, if not pluckt we dye,”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625)
