Pursued

Famous quotes containing the word pursued:

“They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share
They charmed it with smiles and soap.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“Small habits, well pursued betimes, May reach the dignity of crimes.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
