Raising

Famous quotes containing the word raising:

“In considering the ledger equal, understand the greatest gift you have given your parents is the opportunity to raise you. The things a child gets from parents can’t compare to the things a parent gets from raising a child. Only by experiencing this can you understand the degree to which children give meaning to parents’ lives.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“One thinks of all the hands
That are raising dingy shades
In a thousand furnished rooms.”
