Carve Quotations
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
Charles Spurgeon
Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
But how carve way i' the life that lies before, If bent on groaning ever for the past?
Robert Browning Hamilton
Carve every word before you let it fall.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
We have to compete in a universe of 200 networks, so we have to carve out our own niche, and to me, that niche is just basic shoe-leather journalism with some good journalists at the helm you can trust as presenters.
Walter Isaacson
I needed to carve out my own place and find out what I was going to do.
Rosanne Cash
It's the same with people knowing absolutely everything there is to know about an actor. I actually think the more personal information you have about an actor, the more you have to carve out for yourself when you go to a movie and see them in it.
Holly Hunter
We carve out risk-free lives where nothing happens.
James Hillman
As I said, I had no publisher for What a Carve Up! while I was writing it, so all we had to live off was my wife's money and little bits I was picking up for journalism.
Jonathan Coe
