Famous quotes containing the word smiles:
“Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair
Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“You have seen
Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
Were like a better way: those happy smilets
That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know
What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
As pearls from diamonds dropped.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Jupiter from on high smiles at the perjuries of lovers.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
