Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    “Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “I am no orator, as Brutus is,
    But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man
    That love my friend, and that they know full well
    That gave me public leave to speak of him.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Dame Poverty gave me my name,
    And Pain godfathered me.”
