Famous quotes containing the word stir:

“To fly from, need not be to hate, mankind:
All are not fit with them to stir and toil,
Nor is it discontent to keep the mind
Deep in its fountain, lest it overboil.”

Is not to stir without great argument,
But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
When honor’s at the stake.”

four-inch and stainless steel,
and think of my hip where it lay
for four years like a darkness.”
