Tie

Famous quotes containing the word tie:

    Helpless and overwrought,
    she would fasten
    the rope-noose about the beam
    above her bride-couch
    and tie it to her white throat....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    You were born into a different world that will present you with different gifts and challenges. A new vision of manhood will be called for that does not tie so closely into the more aggressive and competitive residues of our male character. You will need to search out new ways of expressing strength, showing mastery, and exhibiting courage—ways that do not depend upon confronting the world before you as an adversary.
    Kent Nerburn (20th century)

    Let not the tie be mercenary, though the service is measured in money. Make yourself necessary to somebody. Do not make life hard to any.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
