Famous quotes containing the word one:

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.

    O would, beloved, that you lay
    Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
    While lights were paling one by one.

    And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
    When man is left alone to mourn,
    Oh! then how sweet it is to die!
