Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

“In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)

Scratched his head and kept on thinking;
Miniver coughed, and called it fate,
And kept on drinking.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“In my stars I am above thee, but be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ‘em.”
