Famous quotes containing the word put:
“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Such as even poets would admit perforce
More practical than Pegasus the horse
If it could put a star back in its course.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
