Obliged

Famous quotes containing the word obliged:

    I look upon it as a Point of Morality, to be obliged by those who endeavour to oblige me.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    I often used to think myself in the case of the fox-hunter, who, when he had toiled and sweated all day in the chase as if some unheard-of blessing was to crown his success, finds at last all he has got by his labor is a stinking nauseous animal. But my condition was yet worse than his; for he leaves the loathsome wretch to be torn by his hounds, whilst I was obliged to fondle mine, and meanly pretend him to be the object of my love.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    I have been trying all my life to like Scotchmen, and am obliged to desist from the experiment in despair.
    Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
