Began

Famous quotes containing the word began:

    It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem—and in my esteem age is not estimable.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Twenty-two weeks the men were out as the strike moved into winter. It was strange to go out into the street and find the men there in the daytime. It had a feeling of fright in it. And always the mood of the men grew uglier as empty bellies and desperation began to conquer reason. Any man who was not their friend became their enemy. They knew my father had opposed the strike, and now it was they who opposed him.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his work.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 3:23.
