False Pass

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or pass:

    if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
    As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
    To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
    That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.
    —Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)

    It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
    —W.R. (William Ralph)
