Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,
    A stage, where every man must play a part,
    And mine a sad one.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.
    Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    We must endeavor to forget our former love for them [the British] and to hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
