Raises

Famous quotes containing the word raises:

“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
—Eva Perón (1919–1952)

“If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“What raises great poetry above all else—it is the entire person and also the entire world.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
