Rising

Famous quotes containing the word rising:

“Yet would we die as some have done:
Beating a way for the rising sun.”
—Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

“You’ve watched me all your life,
I’ve clothed your wife,
put your two sons through college.
What good has it done?
Sun keeps rising every morning.”
—Ray Durem (1915–1963)

“I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the vis inertiae and give elasticity to the muscles.... We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
