Famous quotes containing the word put:
“Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his child’s outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the child’s innocence.”
—Christoph Meckel (20th century)
“Never put off till to-morrow what you can do day after to-morrow just as well.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
