Told

Famous quotes containing the word told:

“I have been told to reason by the heart,
But heart, like head, leads helplessly;
I have been told to reason by the pulse,
And, when it quickens, alter the actions’ pace”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i’th’bud,
Feed on her damask cheek.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. That’s how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyone’s name or reputation in vain.”
—Henry Old Coyote (20th century)
