English Patient

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or patient:

“Here tulips bloom as they are told;
Unkempt about those hedges blows
An English unofficial rose;”

“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
