Famous quotes containing the words usage and/or medicine:
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“After you eat always take a walk, and you’ll never have to go to a medicine shop.”
—Chinese proverb.
