Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents' beds, unerringly I rush! Naught's an obstacle, naught's an angle to the iron way!
Herman Melville
Image
Do your duty, and don't swerve from it. Do that which your conscience tells you to be right, and leave the consequences to God.
Benjamin Haydon

Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I

The aphorism: a platitude that swerves, or slides all the way around.
Mason Cooley

Historians ought to be precise, faithful, and unprejudiced and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should make them swerve from the way of truth.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Thomas Tusser

Let it be ours to be self-reliant amidst hosts of the vacillating — real in a generation of triflers — true amongst a multitude of shams when tempted to swerve from principle, sturdy as an oak in its maintenance when solicited by the enticement of sinners, firm as a rock in our denial.

Sound... if you look at bats you know that navigate with sonar, they're like you know they're very precise. They can even see a bat head towards a building and swerve away, but you'll see a bird that doesn't... you know smash right into a glass window. It's very funny.

The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.
Frank Herbert

A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
James Joyce

If you weren't driving, I'd kiss you senseless, I tell him. He swerves to the side of the road and stops the car abruptly. Not driving any more.

There is a movement of more people recognizing global warming as a danger, recognizing the human contribution to global warming, recognizing the necessity for doing something about it. So there's a trend in that direction, and that trend is consistent with what a climate swerve - which is, as we're both saying, a mindset.
Robert Jay Lifton

In Christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.
Vincent Nichols

Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare
