Famous quotes containing the word idle:
“True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air,
And more inconstant than the wind, who woos
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And being angered, puffs away from thence,
Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“On the idle hill of summer,
Sleepy with the flow of streams,”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Sow seedbut let no tyrant reap;
Find wealthlet no imposter heap;
Weave robeslet not the idle wear;
Forge armsin your defence to bear.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
