Sang Lead

Famous quotes containing the words sang and/or lead:

    “They sang of love, and not of fame;
    Forgot was Britain’s glory;
    Each heart recalled a different name,
    But all sang “Annie Laurie.””
    —Bayard Taylor (1825–1878)

    “I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
