One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    When one by one our ties are torn,
    And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
    When man is left alone to mourn,
    Oh! then how sweet it is to die!
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    Give me your hands all over, one by one.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I haven’t read one book about
    A book or memorized one plot,
    Or found a mind I did not doubt,
    I learned one date. And then forgot.
    And one by one the solid scholars
    Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
