Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

“I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.”

“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”

“In those rare days, the press was seldom known to snarl or bark,
But sweetly sang of men in pow’r, like any tuneful lark;

And not a man in twenty score knew how to make his mark.
Oh the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
