Famous quotes containing the word put:
“Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 22:19.
“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The spendthrift rich never have enough, but the thrifty poor always have a little put by.”
—Chinese proverb.
