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.”

“This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
