Puts

Famous quotes containing the word puts:

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Philosophy, having crept clinging to the rocks so far, puts out its feelers many ways in vain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
