Water Raising

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or raising:

    Instead of water we got here a draught of beer,... a lumberer’s drink, which would acclimate and naturalize a man at once,—which would make him see green, and, if he slept, dream that he heard the wind sough among the pines.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Parents decide to accept the responsibility of raising children. Any thanks they get for doing that is gravy. Grateful children are a blessing, but they aren’t a necessity.
    Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
