Forbidding Quotes

Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment.
Robert Baden-Powell

Bad, Done, Cannot

A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers. By contrast the good ol' American front porch seems to stand for positivity and openness; a platform from which to welcome or wave farewell; a place where things of significance could happen.
Dan Stevens

Good, Happen, Farewell

Abraham Cahan

God, Fire, While

Knowing some Greek helped defuse forbidding words - not that I counted much on using them. You'll find only trace elements of this language in the poem.

Words, Find, Knowing

Frank Borman

Work, Live, Lonely
