Famous quotes containing the words plays, beaumont and/or fletcher:

    A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Know from this the world’s a snare,
    How that greatness is but care,
    How all pleasures are but pain,
    And how short they do remain:
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    Now, good night! may Sweetest Slumbers
    And soft Silence fall in numbers
    On your Eye-lids: So, farewell;
    Thus I end my Evening knell.
    —John Fletcher (1579–1625)
