Passed

Famous quotes containing the word passed:

“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

“We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

“Fate then is a name for facts not yet passed under the fire of thought;Mfor causes which are unpenetrated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
