No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread. — Robert Burton (1577-1640), English clergyman and writer; also known as Democritus Junior.

Tutor's tip: A "chord" is musical notes played together for harmony, a "cord" is a material used to tie things, while "cored" is the past tense of core, which is to remove the center of a fruit.

Sometimes restriction, but, alternatively, the bonds we have with others. The umbilical cord indicates dependency, and in those kinds of situations we talk about "cutting the cord."
