Lay

Famous quotes containing the word lay:

    It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Letters are like wine; if they are sound they ripen with keeping. A man should lay down letters as he does a cellar of wine.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank;
    A ferlie he spied wi’ his e’e;
    And there he saw a lady bright,
    Come riding down by the Eildon Tree.
    Unknown. Thomas the Rhymer (l. 1–4)
