Acquires

Famous quotes containing the word acquires:

    Each mind has its own method. A true man never acquires after college rules.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    A wife is property that one acquires by contract, she is transferable, because possession of her requires title; in fact, woman is, so to speak, only man’s appendage; consequently, slice, cut, clip her, you have all rights to her.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
