Brought

Famous quotes containing the word brought:

    I call to mind the navy great
    That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
    And how the boistous winds did beat
    Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
    Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
    Appeased the gods that them withstood.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:7.

    The words also appear in the Book of Common Prayer, “Burial of the Dead.”

    I am succeeding very well so far with my legging, but it is a very mean business for a man that has been well brought up to engage in. It is the only way to get a bill from Cincinnati through, so it must be done.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
