Famous quotes containing the words concealing the, concealing, birth and/or child:

    Our books are false by being fragmentary: their sentences are bon mots, and not parts of natural discourse; childish expressions of surprise or pleasure in nature; or, worse, owing a brief notoriety to their petulance, or aversion from the order of nature,—being some curiosity or oddity, designedly not in harmony with nature, and purposely framed to excite surprise, as jugglers do by concealing their means.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Don’t join the book burners. Don’t think you are going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

    TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
    So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
    Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
    And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.
    Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)
