Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    The feathers of the willow
    Are half of them grown yellow
    Above the swelling stream;
    And ragged are the bushes,
    And rusty now the rushes,
    And wild the clouded gleam.
    Richard Watson Dixon (1833–1900)

    Unlike the normal pattern, I know I have grown more liberal as I’ve grown older. I have become more convinced that there is room for improvement in the world.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
