Hold

Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    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)

    Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
    Yet do I hold it very stuff o’ the conscience
    To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
    Sometimes to do me service.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You shall fear the LORD your God; him alone you shall worship; to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 10:20.
