Famous quotes containing the word loads:
“Shining through tears, like April suns in showers,
That labour to o’ercome the cloud that loads ‘em.”

“To measure life learn thou betimes, and know
Toward solid good what leads the nearest way;
For other things mild Heaven a time ordains,
And disapproves that care, though wise in show,
That with superfluous burden loads the day,
And, when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.”
