Weigh

Famous quotes containing the word weigh:

“I acknowledge that the balance I have achieved between work and family roles comes at a cost, and every day I must weigh whether I live with that cost happily or guiltily, or whether some other lifestyle entails trade-offs I might accept more readily.

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eye-lids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“One thing I am determined on is that by the time I die my brain shall weigh as much as a man’s if study and learning can make it so.”
