Famous quotes containing the word put:
“When youre crowned Miss America, they put you up on a pedestal. People really look up to you and they think youre perfect. They think that you have everything that youve ever wanted or dreamed about in life.”
—Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. c. 1968)
“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
