Raise

Famous quotes containing the word raise:

    The child who would be an adult must forgive the parents for all the ways they didn’t raise him or her just right, whether their errors were in loving too much or too little. All parents, as parents of adults, do deflating things that make you feel like a child. If you have children, you’ll do those things too and eventually laugh about them.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    They raise their minds by brooding over and embellishing their sufferings, from one degree of fervid exaltation and dreary greatness to another, till at length they run amuck entirely, and whoever meets them would do well to run them thro’ the body.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    Still raise for good the supplicating voice,
    But leave to heaven the measure and the choice,
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
