Sir Thomas Wyatt

Famous quotes containing the words sir, thomas and/or wyatt:

    Give me the critic bred in Nature’s school,
    Who neither talks by rote, nor thinks by rule;
    Who feeling’s honest dictates still obeys,
    And dares, without a precedent, to praise.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.

    Save that I have, to have it still.
