Breathed

Famous quotes containing the word breathed:

“Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges;Mlet it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;Mlet it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“There once was a brainy baboon
Who always breathed down a bassoon,
For he said, “It appears
That in billions of years
I shall certainly hit on a tune.””
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
