Total Lift

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or lift:

    “For youth is a frail thing, not unafraid.
    Firstly inclined to take what it is told.
    Firstly inclined to lean. Greedy to give
    Faith tidy and total. To a total God.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
