Set About

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    I had rather hear a brazen canstick turned,
    Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree,
    And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
    Nothing so much as mincing poetry.
    ‘Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The grip that swung the ax in Illinois
    Was on the pen that set a people free.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
