Held

Famous quotes containing the word held:

“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

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

“You held my hand
and were instant to explain
the three rings of danger.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
