Famous quotes containing the word give:
“I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the vis inertiae and give elasticity to the muscles.... We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“I will indulge my sorrows, and give way
To all the pangs and fury of despair.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Why can’t somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
