Famous quotes containing the words power and/or drains:
“Though I than He—may longer live
He longer must—than I—
For I have but the power to kill,
Without—the power to die—”

“I change, and so do women too;
But I reflect—which women seldom do.
Tobacco is a filthy weed,
That from the devil doth proceed;
That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
That makes a chimney of your nose.”
