Attend

Famous quotes containing the word attend:

    I fancy we are almost the only nation in the world who seem to think that composition comes by nature. The French attend to their own language, the Germans study theirs; but Englishmen do not seem to think it is worth their while.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    If the religious spirit be ever mentioned in any historical narration, we are sure to meet afterwards with a detail of the miseries which attend it. And no period of time can be happier or more prosperous, than those in which it is never regarded or heard of.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Since I was not bewitched in adolescence
    And brought to love,
    I will attend to the trees and their gracious silence,
    To winds that move.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
