Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self evident, “that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living”: that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle,
    Ne wette hir fyngres in hir sauce depe.
    Wel koude she carie a morsel and wel kepe
    That no drope ne fille upon hire brest.
    In curteisie was set ful muchel hir lest.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    What is love itself,
    Even though it be the lightest of light love,
    But dreams that hurry from beyond the world
    To make low laughter more than meat and drink,
    Though it but set us sighing?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
