Lay

Famous quotes containing the word lay:

“When snow like sheep lay in the fold”

“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“The advantage of doing one’s praising for oneself is that one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
