Famous quotes containing the words gave and/or birth:
“—E’en then would be some stooping; and I choose
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.”
