Stead Quotes

Under this marble, or under this sill, Or under this turf, or e'en what they will, Whatever an heir, or a friend in his stead, Or any good creature shall lay o'er my head, Lies one who ne'er car'd, and still cares not a pin What they said or may say of the mortal within; But who, living and dying, serene, still and free, Trusts in God that as well as he was he shall be.

Alexander Pope

— Alexander Pope, Epitaph; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 232.

— Macbeth, Scene III
