Famous quotes containing the words extended and/or meaning:
“The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.”

“A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents’ hands.

As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.”
