Famous Quotes | A good man’s fortune may grow...

A good man’s fortune may grow out at heels. - William Shakespeare Attribution: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Kent, in King Lear, act 2, sc. 2, l. 157. “Out at heels” literally means threadbare, worn out. Kent is sitting in the stocks, so there’s a bitter humor in his remark.
