Famous quotes containing the word hold:

    “It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don’t see or care.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Knowing does not always allow us to prevent, but at least the things that we know, we hold them, if not in our hands, but at least in our thoughts where we may dispose of them at our whim, which gives us the illusion of power over them.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
    But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
