Raise

Famous quotes containing the word raise:

“I raise my pelvis to God
so that it may know the truth of how
flowers smash through the long winter.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who’ve never had any.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
