Raised

Famous quotes containing the word raised:

    He raised a sigh so piteous and profound
    That it did seem to shatter all his bulk
    And end his being.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Being a father
    Is quite a bother . . .
    You improve them mentally
    And straighten them dentally, . . .
    They’re no longer corralable
    Once they find that you’re fallible . . .
    But after you’ve raised them and educated them and
    gowned them,
    They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
    them.
    Being a father
    Is quite a bother,
    But I like it, rather.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
