Give

Famous quotes containing the word give:

    A largess universal, like the sun,
    His liberal eye doth give to everyone,
    Thawing cold fear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I came along at a time when there was a demand to give men greater visibility and opportunity. In white society they were saying, “Women can’t do it.” In black society, they were saying, “Women do too much.” It’s a diabolical situation.
    Yvonne Braithwaite Burke (b. 1932)

    ...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
