Moreover, if you do not immediately retract your demand I shall withdraw him
Fantastic-Fables by Bierce, Ambrose View in context
Young men, in the conduct and manage of actions, embrace more than they can hold; stir more than they can quiet; fly to the end, without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few principles, which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not to innovate, which draws unknown inconveniences; use extreme remedies at first; and, that which doubleth all errors, will not acknowledge or retract them; like an unready horse, that will neither stop nor turn.
The Essays by Bacon, Sir Francis View in context
You will retract this assertion, will you not, Beauchamp?
The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas, Alexandre View in context
