Prevents Piss Poor

Famous quotes containing the words prevents and/or poor:

“What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Hurt a fly!
He would not for the world: he’s pitiful
To flies even. “Sing,” says he, “and tease me still,
If that’s your way, poor insect.””
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
