Strain

Famous quotes containing the word strain:

“A man who strains himself on the stage is bound, if he is any good, to strain all the people sitting in the stalls.”

In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care;”

“That strain again, it had a dying fall;
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more,
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
