One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    “For there is no friend like a sister
    In calm or stormy weather;
    To cheer one on the tedious way,
    To fetch one if one goes astray,
    To lift one if one totters down,
    To strengthen whilst one stands.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “However others calculate the cost,
    To us the final aggregate is one,
    One with a name, one transferred to the blest;
    And though another stoops and takes the gun,
    We cannot add the second to the first.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “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)
