Brought

Famous quotes containing the word brought:

    Single mothers have as much to teach their children as married mothers and as much love to share—maybe more. Yet their motives are often labeled selfish and single-minded—never mind all the babies brought into the world to snag husbands, “save” faltering marriages or produce heirs.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)

    To nothing fitter can I thee compare
    Than to the son of some rich pennyfather,
    Who, having now brought on his end with care,
    Leaves to his son all he had heaped together;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
