Allowed

Famous quotes containing the word allowed:

    He had killed and put to earth so many that his sword broke in two. At length he thought to himself that that was enough massacring and killing for one day, and that the rest should be allowed to escape in order to spread the news.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    If I had my way, this war would never have been commenced. If I had been allowed my way this war would have been ended before this.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The amount of it is, if a man is alive, there is always danger that he may die, though the danger must be allowed to be less in proportion as he is dead-and-alive to begin with. A man sits as many risks as he runs.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
