part

But when I plead, she bids me play my part, And when I weep, she says tears are but water: And when I sigh, she says I know the art, And when I wail, she turns herself to laughter.

—Spenser, Edmund

'With every pleasing, every prudent part, Say, what can Cloe want?'öShe wants a heart.

—Pope, Alexander

Kangaroo, Kangaroo! Thou Spirit of Australia, That redeems from utter failure, From perfect desolation, And warrants the creation Of this fifth part of the Earth.

—Field, Barron

But however and whenever we part from one another, I am sure we shall none of us forget poorTinyTim.

—Dickens, CharlesJohn Huffam

   Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and havenotcharity,Iam becomeassounding brass, ora tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all mygoodstofeed thepoor, and though Igivemy body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not herown, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

—Bible (NewTestament)

   Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part; Nay, I have done, you get no more of me, And I am glad, yea glad with all my heart That thus so cleanly I myself can free; Shake hands forever, cancel all our vows, And when we meet at any time again, Be it not seen in either of our brows That we one jot of former love retain.

—Drayton, Michael

How often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? Inevery friend we losea part ofourselves, and the best part.

—Pope, Alexander

Every individual†intends only his own gain, and he is in this as in many other cases led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention† By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the publick good.

—Smith, Adam

You have no part with lads who fought And laughed and suffered at my side. Your fugues and symphonies have brought No memory of my friends who died.

—Sassoon, Siegfried Louvain

Let us have no ranting tragedies. Too many charactersöNot a tolerable woman's part in the play.

—Austen,Jane

I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades Vext the dim sea: I am become a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, council, governments, Myself not least, but honoured of them all; And drunk delight of battle with my peers, Far on the ringing plains of windyTroy. I am part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life.

—Tennyson

Part of a moon was falling down the west, Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.

—Frost, Robert Lee

No, this vile world and I have long been jangling, And cannot part on better terms than now, When only men like thee are fit to live in't.

—Otway,Thomas

It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.

—Hellman, Lillian Florence

No tin hat brigade of goose-stepping vigilantes or bibblebabbling mob of blackguarding and corporation- paid scoundrels will prevent the onward march of labor, ordivert its purposetoplay itsnatural and rational part in the development of the economic, political, and social life of our nation.

—Lewis,John L(lewellyn)

Those who make their dress a principal part of themselves, will, in general, become of no more value than their dress.

—Hazlitt,William

Some part of us still believes that men should kill.

—Skelton, Robin

   Fear God, and take your own part.

—Borrow, George Henry

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

—Planck, Max Karl Ernst

Leaving reminds us what we can part with and what we can't, then offers us something new to look forward to, to dream about.

—Ford, Richard

You are whiteö yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That's American.

—Hughes, (James Mercer) Langston
