Famous quotes containing the words world and/or season:
“In a world which furnishes so many employments which are useful, and so many which are amusing, it is our own fault if we ever know what ennui [boredom] is, or if we are ever driven to the miserable resource of gaming, which corrupts our dispositions, and teaches us a habit of hostility against all mankind.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
