Aspire

Famous quotes containing the word aspire:

    We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They who aspire to love worthily, subject themselves to an ordeal more rigid than any other.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Leave me, O Love, which reachest but to dust;
    And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things;
    Grow rich in that which never taketh rust;
    Whatever fades but fading pleasure brings.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
