Quotations for stimulate

Obstacles usually stimulate passion, but sometimes they kill it. [ George Sand ]

Mankind are creatures of books, as well as of other circumstances; and such they eternally remain, - proofs, that the race is a noble and believing race, and capable of whatever books can stimulate. [ Leigh Hunt ]

The mother, under whose sole influence the child is for years, from whom it acquires its tastes and character, should not only be educated, but educated in the most thorough manner, and have her mind stored with varied learning, so that she may be able to answer the multitude of questions that will be put to her by her inquisitive child on art, science, literature, and religion, and thus to stimulate his curiosity, and awaken his mind. [ E. B. Ramsay ]
