Thine

Famous quotes containing the word thine:

“For thee, thou need’st no such deceit,
For, thou thyself art thine own bait;
That fish, that is not catch’d thereby,
Alas, is wiser far than I.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“For I so truly thee bemoane,
That I shall weep though I be Stone:
Until my Tears, still drooping, wear
My breast, themselves engraving there.
There at me feet shalt thou be laid,
Of purest Alabaster made:
For I would have thine Image be
White as I can, though not as Thee.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting “I dare not” wait upon “I would,”
Like the poor cat i’ th’ adage?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
