Famous quotes containing the word carry:
“Chores begin when your child can pick it up, put it away, fold it, sort it, or carry it out the door.”
—Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)
“I respect not his labors, his farm where everything has its price, who would carry the landscape, who would carry his God, to market, if he could get anything for him; who goes to market for his god as it is; on whose farm nothing grows free, whose fields bear no crops, whose meadows no flowers, whose trees no fruit, but dollars; who loves not the beauty of his fruits, whose fruits are not ripe for him till they are turned to dollars. Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Always carry it in thy mind, and act upon it, as a sure maxim: “That women are timid:” And ‘tis well they are—else there would be no dealing with them.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
