Famous quotes containing the words assay and/or offices:

    “The lyf so short, the craft so longe to lerne,
    Th’ assay so hard, so sharp the conquerynge,
    The dredful joye, alwey that slit so yerne;
    Al this mene I be love.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)

    “Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
