Famous quotes containing the word mend:

    O cheer and tune my heartless breast,
    Defer no time;
    That so thy favours granting my request,
    They and my mind may chime,
    And mend my rhyme.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    When the boat reaches midstream, it is too late to mend the leaks.
    Chinese proverb.

    He gathers all the parish there;
    Points out the place of either yew,
    Here Baucis, there Philemon, grew.
    Till once a parson of our town,
    To mend his barn, cut Baucis down;
    At which, ‘tis hard to be believed
    How much the other tree was grieved,
    Grew scrubby, died a-top, was stunted:
    So the next parson stubbed and burnt it.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
