Remaining Seed

Famous quotes containing the words remaining and/or seed:

    If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    This is a pain I mostly hide,
    but ties of blood, or seed endure,
    and even now I feel inside
    the hunger for his outstretched hand,
    a man’s embrace to take me in,
    the need for just a word of praise.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
