Weigh

Famous quotes containing the word weigh:

“My sweetest Lesbia let us live and love,
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them: Heav’n’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive,
But soon as once set is our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)

“Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“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.”
—M. Carey Thomas (1857–1935)
