View quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.
Half the world I wandered through, Seeking where such flowers grew. Half the world unto my quest Answered me with laugh and jest.
Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.

I always wanted to be somebody. If I made it, it's half because I was game enough to take a lot of punishment along the way and half because there were a lot of people who cared enough to help me.
View quotes by Althea Gibson
Some people think of the glass as half full. Some people think of the glass as half empty. I think of the glass as too big.

I won't be able to stop the drinking just like that but I've hopefully cut it in half and if you cut what I drink in half that is a hell of a lot.
