Generally Held

Famous quotes containing the words generally and/or held:

“The inhabitants of St. John’s and vicinity are described by an English traveler as “singularly unprepossessing,” and before completing his period he adds, “besides, they are generally very much disaffected to the British crown.” I suspect that that “besides” should have been a “because.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There was silence deep as death;
And the boldest held his breath
For a time.”
—Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
