Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    The child hand raised to reach the holding hand. Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    I hold you as a thing enskied, and sainted,
    By your renouncement an immortal spirit,
    And to be talked with in sincerity,
    As with a saint.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
