Famous quotes containing the word laid:
“I’ve never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“‘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)
