Famous quotes containing the words give and/or thine:
“As for my own business, even that kind of surveying which I could do with most satisfaction my employers do not want. They would prefer that I should do my work coarsely and not too well, ay, not well enough. When I observe that there are different ways of surveying, my employer commonly asks which will give him the most land, not which is most correct.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Why, what a wasp-stung and impatient fool
Are thou to break into this woman’s mood,
Tying thine ear to no tongue but thine own!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
