A dreamer born is a hero bred.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Image
An artist should be well read in the best books, and thoroughly high bred, both in heart and bearing. In a word, he should be fit for the best society, and should keef out of it.
John Ruskin
Image
I was, in reality, bred by my parents as my father's concubine... What we take for granted as the stability of family life may well depend on the sexual slavery of our children. What's more, this is a cynical arrangement our institutions have colluded to conceal.
Sylvia Fraser
Image
Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
The evil done by oneself, self-begotten, self-bred, crushes the foolish, as a diamond breaks a precious stone.
Max Muller
Image
Whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy, is the best bred man in company.
Jonathan Swift
Image
I am an American free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
I'm a Southerner, born and bred, but that doesn't mean I approve of all that goes on here, and there are a lot of other white people who feel the same.

Image
Then, like a born and bred asshole, he added to the sheriff, He writes murder mysteries.
Josh Lanyon

Moliere

Judy Holliday
Image
Some have asked if the stock of men could not be improved,--if they could not be bred as cattle. Let Love be purified, and all therest will follow. A pure love is thus, indeed, the panacea for all the ills of the world.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Proximity bred familiarity, and familiarity bred comfort.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
You can be slum-born and slum-bred and still achieve something worth while but it is a stupid inverted snobbishness to be proud of it. If one had a right to be proud of anything, it would be of a continued decent tradition back of one.
Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Image
Count not the cost of honour to the dead!The tribute that a mighty nation paysTo those who loved her well in former daysMeans more than gratitude for glories fledFor every noble man that she hath bred,Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise,Immortalised by art's immortal praise,To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
The windiest militant trash Important Persons shout Is not so crude as our wish: What mad Nijinsky wrote About Diaghilev Is true of the normal heart For the error bred in the bone Of each woman and each man Craves what it cannot have Not universal love But to be loved alone.
W. H. Auden
Image
The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Just looking at me, I am a Black man. Born and bred, through and through. But I am also a lot of things. I am a father. I am a husband. I am a Christian. I am a comic book geek and I'm a creator.
Kevin Grevioux
Image
Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.
Herbert Croly
Image
No man in his heart is quite so cynical as a well-bred woman.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
There's no other place that exemplifies a fanatic as much as Chicago. I feel like sports fans have bred out of Chicago.
Paul Scheer
Image
When the Way governs the world, the proud stallions drag dung carriages. When the Way is lost to the world, war horses are bred outside the city.
