Keeping Left Takes

Famous quotes containing the words keeping, left and/or takes:

    I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred—that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt.... If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    How have you left the ancient love
    That bards of old enjoyed in you!
    The languid strings do scarcely move!
    The sound is forced, the notes are few!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
