Poor

Famous quotes containing the word poor:

“And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.”

“So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
As if we were God’s spies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“But the dirty little coward that shot Mister Howard,
He laid poor Jesse in his grave.”
—Unknown. Jesse James (l. Chorus)
