Famous quotes containing the word hold:
“You cant change what happened between you and your ex-spouse, but you can change your attitude about it. Forgiveness doesnt mean that what your ex did was right or that you condone what he or she did; it simply means that you no longer want to hold a grudge. Forgiveness is not a gift for the other person; it is a purely selfish act that allows you to put the past behind you.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
“The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
“It isnt that I want to hold the children here, its just that I worry about what our life will be like. I dont know what well talk about, just the two of us, after all these years.”
—Anonymous Parents. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
