Famous quotes containing the word offer:
“Some minds are as little logical or argumentative as nature; they can offer no reason or “guess,” but they exhibit the solemn and incontrovertible fact. If a historical question arises, they cause the tombs to be opened. Their silent and practical logic convinces the reason and the understanding at the same time. Of such sort is always the only pertinent question and the only satisfactory reply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The first lover is kept a long while, when no offer is made of a second.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“I wonder how I should like you to come to me
And offer to put me gently out of my pain.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
