Perceive

Famous quotes containing the word perceive:

    The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I do perceive here a divided duty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And as she died so must we die ourselves,
    And thence ye may perceive the world’s a dream.
    Life, how and what is it?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
