Famous quotes containing the words world and/or season:
“The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
Less then a span:
In his conception wretched, from the womb
So to the tomb;
Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
With cares and fears.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
