Famous quotes containing the word hold:
“Now I hold Creation in my foot
Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My manners are tearing off heads
The allotment of death.”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
“I N take thee M to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to Gods holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth.”
—Book Of Common Prayer, The. Solemnization of Matrimony, Betrothal, (1662)
“There is a plain distinction to be made betwixt pleasure and happiness. For tho there can be no happiness without pleasureyet the converse of the proposition will not hold true.We are so made, that from the common gratifications of our appetites, and the impressions of a thousand objects, we snatch the one, like a transient gleam, without being suffered to taste the other.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
