Famous quotes containing the word word:

    The State’s your mother, your father, the totality of your interests. No discipline can be too severe for the man that denies that by word or deed.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean- tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
