Famous quotes containing the words faculties and/or require:

“God sent children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race—to enlarge our hears; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affections; to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion; and to bring round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts.”
—Mary Botham Howitt (20th century)

“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.”
