Lifted

Famous quotes containing the word lifted:

    He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up
    his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
    He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from
    the God of his salvation.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XXIV (l. XXIV, 4–5)

    We are adapted to infinity. We are hard to please, and love nothing which ends: and in nature is no end; but every thing, at the end of one use, is lifted into a superior, and the ascent of these things climbs into daemonic and celestial natures.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    These are the clouds about the fallen sun,
    The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
    The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
    Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
    And discord follow upon unison....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
