Famous quotes containing the words laps and/or led:

    “They’ll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
    They’ll tell the clock to any business that
    We say befits the hour.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I have led her home, my love, my only friend.
    There is none like her, none.
    And never yet so warmly ran my blood
    And sweetly, on and on
    Calming itself to the long-wished-for end,
    Full to the banks, close on the promised good.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
