Rise Private Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words rise, private and/or eyes:

    Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience. We need to walk that middle ground between perfection and peerage, between intense meddling and apathy—the middle ground where our values, standards, and expectations can be shared with our children.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    The highest panegyric, therefore, that private virtue can receive, is the praise of servants.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Nature herself her shape admires;
    The gods are wounded in her sight;
    And Love forsakes his heavenly fires
    And at her eyes his brand doth light:
    Heigh ho, would she were mine!
    Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
