It'll be with me like it was with Uncle Ned's ole ox, I reckon; he kep' a-goin' an' a-goin' till he died a-standin' up, an' even then they had to push him over.
it is my lady! *sighs* o, it is my love! o, that she knew she were! she speaks, yet she sais nothing. what of that? her eye discourses; i will answer it. i am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks; two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return.
I watch news from the minute I wake up till 11. Then I switch to Charlie Rose. Fox News all the way.
The denial of contemporary genius is the rule rather than the exception. No one counts the eagles in the nest, till there is a rush of wings; and lo! they are flown.
To hear the lark begin his flight, And singing startle the dull Night, From his watch-tower in the skies, Till the dappled dawn doth rise.
There is a devilish mercy in the judge, if you'll implore it, that will free your life, but fetter you till death.
There will be killing till the score is paid.
One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.

Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you, nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.
I love thee, I love thee with a love that shall not die. Till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
Most marriages are a mess, and the children get caught between two bitter, antagonistic parents. My parents stayed married for 27 unhappy years, till their kids were grown, and this was a catastrophe for us.
This seemed a dreary and wasted life for a girl with fifteen years of straight A's, but I knew that's what marriage was like, because cook and clean and wash was just what Buddy Willard's mother did from morning till night, and she was the wife of a university professor and had been a private school teacher herself.
Health is not valued till sickness comes.
