Famous quotes containing the word put:
“I heard of one man who complained that somebody had stolen his boots in the night; and when he found them, he wanted to know what they had done to them,—they had spoiled them,—he never put that stuff on them; and the bootblack narrowly escaped paying damages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To put one brick upon another,
Add a third, and then a fourth,
Leaves no time to wonder whether
What you do has any worth.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
