Famous quotes containing the word laid:
“‘Tis not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intertissued robe of gold and pearl,
...
Not all these, laid in bed majestical,
Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave
Who with a body filled and vacant mind
Gets him to rest, crammed with distressful bread.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It should be quite clear, then, that there are no criteria to be laid down in general for distinguishing the real from the not real.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
