Sole

Famous quotes containing the word sole:

    Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    All that we did, all that we said or sang
    Must come from contact with the soil, from that
    Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.
    We three alone in modern times had brought
    Everything down to that sole test again,
    Dream of the noble and the beggarman.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    All those who try to go it sole alone,
    Too proud to be beholden for relief,
    Are absolutely sure to come to grief.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
