Famous quotes containing the words estate and/or standard:
“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
“Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
