Quotations for dispersed

The bread eaten, the company dispersed. [ Spanish Proverb ]

Wealth in the gross is death, but life diffused;
As poison heals, in just proportion used;
In heaps, like ambergrise, a stink it lies,
But well dispersed, is incense to the skies. [ Pope ]

The morrow, fair with purple beams, dispersed the shadows of the misty night. [ Spenser ]

Nothing is so swift as calumny; nothing is more easily uttered; nothing more readily received; nothing more widely dispersed. [ Cicero ]
