Forbids

Famous quotes containing the word forbids:

    It’s true Heaven forbids some pleasures, but a compromise can usually be found.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine;Mthey are the life, the soul of reading!—take them out of this book, for instance,—you might as well take the book along with them;Mone cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer;Mhe steps forth like a bridegroom,—bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    Life’s brief span [vitae summa brevis] forbids us to enter on far-reaching hopes.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
