Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    On the whole, Chaucer impresses us as greater than his reputation, and not a little like Homer and Shakespeare, for he would have held up his head in their company.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Since long I’ve held silence a remedy for harm.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    Here lieth the worthy warrior
    Who never bloodied sword;
    Here lieth the noble counsellor,
    Who never held his word.
    Here lieth his Excellency,
    Who ruled all the state;
    Here lieth the Earl of Leicester,
    Whom all the world did hate.
    Anonymous. 16th century.
