Purposes

Famous quotes containing the word purposes:

    It is not enough that we are truthful; we must cherish and carry out high purposes to be truthful about.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
    And that in deed and not in word alone.
    chorus: I thought I heard a sound within the house
    Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
    He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
    Once more: he purposes to kill me dead
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
