Famous quotes containing the word bids:
“Thus Kent, O princes, bids you all adieu;
He’ll shape his old course in a country new.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage,
Till pitying Nature signs the last release,
And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.”

“The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.”
