“And oft, my jealousy shapes faults that are not”
William Shakespeare
“Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, / But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; / For the apparel oft proclaims the man.”
“Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that”
“O, pardon me, my lord! it oft falls out,To have what we would have, we speak not what we mean.I something do excuse the thing I hate.”
“For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.”
Bible
“How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes deeds ill done!”
“Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest; and despair most sits”
