Famous quotes containing the word tend:
“Alas! What boots it with uncessant care
To tend the homely slighted shepherds trade,
And strictly meditate the thankless Muse?

To sport with Amaryllis in the shade,
Hid in the tangles of Neaeras hair?”
—John Milton (16081674)

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Union of Religious Sentiments begets a surprising confidence and Ecclesiastical Establishments tend to great ignorance and corruption, all of which facilitate the Execution of Mischievous Projects.”
