Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    He fancied that I gave a soul
    Did but our bodies touch,
    And laughed upon his breast to think
    Beast gave beast as much.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    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)
