Gather

Famous quotes containing the word gather:

    Come gather round me Parnellites
    And praise our chosen man,
    Stand upright on your legs awhile,
    Stand upright while you can,
    For soon we lie where he is laid
    And he is underground....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 12:30.

    A novel is a mirror carried along a high road. At one moment it reflects to your vision the azure skies at another the mire of the puddles at your feet. And the man who carries this mirror in his pack will be accused by you of being immoral! His mirror shews [sic] the mire, and you blame the mirror! Rather blame that high road upon which the puddle lies, still more the inspector of roads who allows the water to gather and the puddle to form.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
