Pressed

Famous quotes containing the word pressed:

    One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest-trees.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Pressed into service means pressed out of shape.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    ...give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:38.
