Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

“‘He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
His stomach too begins to fail:
Last year we thought him strong and hale,
But now, he’s quite another thing;
I wish he may hold out till spring.’

Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
‘It is not yet so bad with us.’”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“Dead battles, like dead generals, hold the military mind in their dead grip.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

“It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
