Sir Thomas Wyatt

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or wyatt:

    There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    With serving still
    This have I won,
    For my goodwill
    To be undone;
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
