Sit

Famous quotes containing the word sit:

“See where my Love sits in the beds of spices,
Beset all round with camphor, myrrh, and roses,
And interlaced with curious devices
Which her apart from all the world incloses!
There doth she tune her lute for her delight,
And with sweet music makes the ground to move,
Whilst I, poor I, do sit in heavy plight,
Wailing alone my unrespected love;”
—Bartholomew Griffin (d. 1602)

“Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children.”
—Martin Luther (1483–1546)

“Hermione. Pray you sit by us,
And tell’s a tale.
Mamillius. Merry or sad shall’t be?
Hermione. As merry as you will.
Mamillius. A sad tale’s best for winter. I have one
Of sprites and goblins.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
