Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “Tom took his whipping and went back to his seat not at all broken-hearted, for he thought it was possible that he had unknowingly upset the ink on the spelling-book himself, in some skylarking bout—he had denied it for form’s sake and because it was custom, and had stuck to the denial from principle.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “For I thought of her grave below the hill,
    Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,
    And I thought, “Were she only living still,
    How I could forgive her, and love her!””
    —“Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    “You wish to be thought to act justly than to do so.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
