Famous quotes containing the word waste:
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In companions
That do converse and waste the time together,
Whose souls do bear an equal yoke of love,
There must be needs a like proportion
Of lineaments, of manners, and of spirit.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
