One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    Lions, wolves, and vultures don’t live together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals of prey, man is the only sociable one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbour, and yet we herd together.
    John Gay (1685–1732)

    Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
    It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it:
    But wee will have a way more liberall,
    Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
    Be one, and one anothers All.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    So Nature deals with us, and takes away
    Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
    Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
    Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
    Being too full of sleep to understand
    How far the unknown transcends the what we
    know.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
