Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

    Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    And am I born to die?
    To lay this body down?
    And must my trembling spirit fly
    Into a world unknown?
    Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
