Famous quotes containing the word break:
“The great King of kings
Hath in the table of his law commanded
That thou shalt do no murder. Will you then
Spurn at his edict, and fulfill a mans?
Take heed; for he holds vengeance in his hand
To hurl upon their heads that break his law.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Let us not break with him,
For he will never follow anything
That other men begin.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which Ive been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burstif, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860?)
