    If, during his daily walk, he met any children flying kites, playing marbles, or whirling peg tops, he would buy the toys from them and exhort them not to gamble or indulge in vain sport.
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    I met with virgins seven,
    And one of them was Mary mild,
    Our Lord’s mother from heaven.
    Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 2–4)

    From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.
    Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
