Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:
“Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“When I have plucked the rose,
I cannot give it vital growth again,
It needs must wither. I’ll smell it on the tree.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
