Live Birth Rate

Famous quotes containing the words live, birth and/or rate:

    Day after day, throughout the winter,
    We hardened ourselves to live by bluest reason
    In a world of wind and frost....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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)

    “Terence, this is stupid stuff:
    You eat your victuals fast enough;
    There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
    To see the rate you drink your beer.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
