Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

    Yeah, if it hadn’t been for me everybody’d be a lot better off—my wife and my kids and my friends.... I wish I’d never been born. I suppose it’d been better if I’d never been born at all.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

    She knew that the horse, born to serve nobly, had waited in vain for someone noble to serve. His spirit knew that nobility had gone out of men.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Although this garrulity of advising is born with us, I confess that life is rather a subject of wonder, than of didactics. So much fate, so much irresistible dictation from temperament and unknown inspiration enter into it, that we doubt we can say anything out of our own experience whereby to help each other.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
