One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

“It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)

“O would, beloved, that you lay
Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
