Lend

Famous quotes containing the word lend:

“Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars; merchants have; let them give them. Farmers will give corn; poets will sing; women will sew; laborers will lend a hand; the children will bring flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Harvey, Jr.: Say, Dad. Suppose you could lend me fifty for the trip home?
Harvey: I hate these emotional farewells.”
—Tom Waldman (d. 1985)

““I’d like to taste,” he said, “the inside of your mouth. God, how I’d like to be a goblin-sized Gulliver and explore that cave.”
“I can lend you my tongue,” she said and did.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
