What is bring up?

Famous quotes containing the word bring:

    Far off, men swell, bully, and threaten; bring them hand to hand, and they are feeble folk.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Indeed, I thought, slipping the silver into my purse ... what a change of temper a fixed income will bring about. No force in the world can take from me my five hundred pounds. Food, house and clothing are mine for ever. Therefore not merely do effort and labour cease, but also hatred and bitterness. I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
