Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

    I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    The rest to some faint meaning make pretense,
    But Shadwell never deviates into sense.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
