Gave

Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    You had to face your ends when young
    ‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
    But never made a poorer song
    That you might have a heavier purse,
    Nor gave loud service to a cause
    That you might have a troop of friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The prince was getting tired.
    He began to feel like a shoe salesman.
    But he gave it one last try.
    This time Cinderella fit into the shoe
    like a love letter into its envelope.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in
    a lordly dish.
    She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s
    hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sis’e-ra, she smote off his
    head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
    Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 25–26)
