A pedant holds more to instruct us with what he knows, than of what we are ignorant.
Soil, not oil, holds the future for humanity.
Parliamentary cretinism: that peculiar malady which since 1848 has raged all over the Continent, which holds those infected by it fast in an imaginary world and robs them of all sense, all memory, all understanding of the rude external world.
The human heart holds much more love than it can ever disburse in one lifetime.
