Famous quotes containing the words felt, hat and/or industry:
“One reasonperhaps the chiefof the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that because they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
“The purity of today will invest us like a breeze,
Only be hard, spare, ironical: something one can
Tip ones hat to and still get some use out of.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“... were not out to benefit society, to remold existence, to make industry safe for anyone except ourselves, to give any small peoples except ourselves their rights. Were not out for submerged tenths, were not going to suffer over how the other half lives. Were out for Marys job and Luellas art, and Barbaras independence and the rest of our individual careers and desires.”
—Anne OHagan (1869?)
