Stay

Famous quotes containing the word stay:

“In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there’s more reason to fear than to hope.”

To cover up the embers that still burn.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
