Closely Held

Famous quotes containing the words closely and/or held:

    “So closely interwoven have been our lives, our purposes, and experiences that, separated, we have a feeling of incompleteness—united, such strength of self-association that no ordinary obstacles, difficulties, or dangers ever appear to us insurmountable.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “Here lieth the worthy warrior
    Who never bloodied sword;
    Here lieth the noble counsellor,
    Who never held his word.
    Here lieth his Excellency,
    Who ruled all the state;
    Here lieth the Earl of Leicester,
    Whom all the world did hate.”
    —Anonymous. 16th century.
