Rode

Famous quotes containing the word rode:

“We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Lord Ronald said nothing; he flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.”
—Stephen Leacock (1869–1944)

“But she rode it out,
That old rose-house,
She hove into the teeth of it,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
