Famous quotes containing the words dutch and/or alphabet:
“Too nice is neighbor’s fool.”
—Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.
“I believe the alphabet is no longer considered an essential piece of equipment for traveling through life. In my day it was the keystone to knowledge. You learned the alphabet as you learned to count to ten, as you learned “Now I lay me” and the Lord’s Prayer and your father’s and mother’s name and address and telephone number, all in case you were lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
