Famous quotes containing the word lift:
“No, in country money, the country scale of gain,
The requisite lift of spirit has never been found....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And don’t forget about your legs either! Lift up your legs as well, you good dancers, and better yet—stand also on your heads!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
