Poor Growth

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:

    ‘It’s the same the whole world over;
    It’s the poor that gets the blame,
    It’s the rich that gets the pleasure.
    Isn’t it a blooming shame?’
    —Unknown. She Was Poor but She Was Honest (l. 37–40)

    Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summer and wither in the frosts. The Red Cross is a part of us—it has come to stay—and like the sturdy oak, its spreading branches shall yet encompass and shelter the relief of the nation.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
