Hold Office

Famous quotes containing the words hold and/or office:

“He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies,—neighbors are kind enough for that,—but to do the like office to our spirits. For this few are rich enough, however well disposed they may be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
