Lead Hand

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or hand:

“It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions.... Spacious avenues, that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere; streets, mile-long, that only want houses, roads, and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete; and ornaments of great thoroughfares, which only lack great thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“...that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 18:21.
