Imposed

Famous quotes containing the word imposed:

“‘Twas Age imposed on poems
Their gather-roses burden
To warn against the danger
That overtakes lovers
From being overflooded
With happiness should have it
And yet not know they have it.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Why will we be imposed on by antiquity?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We will not be imposed upon by this vast application of forces. We believe that most things will have to be accomplished still by the application called Industry. We are rather pleased, after all, to consider the small private, but both constant and accumulated, force which stands behind every spade in the field. This it is that makes the valleys shine, and the deserts really bloom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
