Lingers

Famous quotes containing the word lingers:

“But gathering as we stray, a sense
Of Life, so lovely and intense,
It lingers when we wander hence,

That those who follow feel behind
Their backs, when all before is blind,
Our joy, a rampart to the mind.”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)

“Whether elected or appointed
He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
And indeed the ointment lingers on him
So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

“I can get no remedy against this consumption of the purse;
borrowing only lingers and lingers it out, but the disease
is incurable.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
