Rises

Famous quotes containing the word rises:

““A man,” said Oliver Cromwell, “never rises so high as when he knows not whither he is going.” Dreams and drunkenness, the use of opium and alcohol are the semblance and counterfeit of this oracular genius, and hence their dangerous attraction for men. For the like reason they ask the aid of wild passions, as in gaming and war, to ape in some manner these flames and generosities of the heart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“When she rises in the morning
I linger to watch her;”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“I done et so free o’ fish, my stommick rises and falls with the tide.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
