Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or drew:
“Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
