Famous quotes containing the words family, charitable and/or interests:

    “A poem is like a person. Though it has a family tree, it is important not because of its ancestors but because of its individuality. The poem, like any human being, is something more than its most complete analysis. Like any human being, it gives a sense of unified individuality which no summary of its qualities can reproduce; and at the same time a sense of variety which is beyond satisfactory final analysis.”
    —Donald Stauffer (b. 1930)

    “O charitable philosopher, I beg you to help me. My mind is weak but my soul is strong. Kindle that soul, and the sacred fire shall never be extinguished.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
