Famous quotes containing the word partners:
“Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one’s partners in the waltz of this world—not much remembered when the ball is over.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“And one of his partners asked “Has he vertigo?” and the other glanced out and down and said “Oh no, only about ten feet more.””
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
