Famous quotes containing the words short and/or words:
“Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.”
—“Burial of the Dead,” first anthem, Book of Common Prayer (1662)
“Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter,
Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor;
As much as child e’er loved, or father found,
A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
