Raise

Famous quotes containing the word raise:

“You make yourselves out to be shepherds of the flock and yet you allow your sheep to live in filth and poverty. And if they try and raise their voices against it, you calm them by telling them their suffering is the will of God. Sheep, indeed. Are we sheep to be herded and sheared by a handful of owners? I was taught man was made in the image of God, not a sheep.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

“Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 21:28.

“The piety of the Hebrew prophets purges their grossness. The circumcision is an example of the power of poetry to raise the low and offensive.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
