Cheers

Famous quotes containing the word cheers:

    Housekeeping is not beautiful; it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child; neither the host nor the guest; it oppresses women. A house kept to the end of prudence is laborious without joy; a house kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
