One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    “There is room in the halls of pleasure
    For a large and lordly train,
    But one by one we must all file on
    Through the narrow aisles of pain.”
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)

    “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)

    “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)
