“And even the ranks of Tuscany / Could scarce forbear to cheer.”
Thomas Babington Macaulay
“Conditions in Tuscany are perfect.”
Olaf Ludwig
“But O alas, so long, so far / Our bodies why do we forbear? / They're ours, though they're not we, we are / The intelligences, they the sphere.”
John Donne
“Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close;And let us all to meditation.”
William Shakespeare
“Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days; Compare dead happiness with living woe; Think that thy babes were fairer than they were, And he that slew them fouler than he is: Bettering thy loss makes the bad causer worse: Revolving this will teach”
“And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.”
Bible
“By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.”
