Hold Office

Famous quotes containing the words hold and/or office:

    the disgust won and because
    of this I am a hoarder of words
    I hold them in though they are
    dung oh God I am a digger
    I am not an idler
    am I?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
