Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

    Even he was abashed
    and I laughed
    and held him close
    when he went for the knot
    of my underclothes
    and I’d already untied it.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    It is my birthday,
    I had thought t’ have held it poor; but since my lord
    Is Antony again, I will be Cleopatra.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As for the tenets of the Brahmans, we are not so much concerned to know what doctrines they held, as that they were held by any. We can tolerate all philosophies.... It is the attitude of these men, more than any communication which they make, that attracts us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
