Famous quotes containing the word snare:
“I would have these good people to recollect, that the laws of this country hold out to foreigners an offer of all that liberty of the press which Americans enjoy, and that, if this liberty be abridged, by whatever means it may be done, the laws and the constitution, and all together, is a mere cheat; a snare to catch the credulous and enthusiastic of every other nation; a downright imposition on the world.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,” and begin to reflect only after making a vow.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 20:25.
“A snare is Love,
a shame,
who are maimed with Love,
totter and falter and stare,
lost in a world
defamed.”
