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.

    It may be strange—yet who would change
    Time’s course to slower speeding,
    When one by one our friends have gone
    And left our bosoms bleeding?

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