Give Birth

Famous quotes containing the words give and/or birth:

    If they have cut out your uterus
    I will give you a laurel wreath
    to put in its place.
    If you have cut off your ear
    I will give you a crow
    who will hear just as well.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The passions do very often give birth to others of a nature most contrary to their own. Thus avarice sometimes brings forth prodigality, and prodigality avarice; a man’s resolution is very often the effect of levity, and his boldness that of cowardice and fear.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
