Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.
                -- Ovid (43 B.C. - A.D. 18)

Let sleeping dogs lie.
                -- Charles Dickens

Let the machine do the dirty work.
                -- "Elements of Programming Style", Kernighan and Ritchie

Let the meek inherit the earth -- they have it coming to them.
                -- James Thurber

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
                -- William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania

they can. I'm sick of the job.  It's a thankless one and full of grief.
                -- Capone

Let thy maid servant be faithful, strong, and homely.
                -- Benjamin Franklin

Let us go then you and I
while the night is laid out against the sky
like a smear of mustard on an old pork pie.

                -- Ezra

Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question...
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
                -- T.S. Eliot, "Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
