Famous quotes containing the word bid:

    Onely a little more
    I have to write,
    Then I’ll give o’er,
    And bid the world Good-night.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The moment the very name of Ireland is mentioned, the English seem to bid adieu to common feeling, common prudence, and common sense, and to act with the barbarity of tyrants, and the fatuity of idiots.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
