Famous quotes containing the word lift:
“For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,

A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”

The requisite lift of spirit has never been found....”

In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.”
