Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or farmers:
“And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born
It compels humility: what we began
Is now its own.”
—Anne Ridler (b. 1912)
“What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each others presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
