Famous quotes containing the words mount, college and/or women:

    My name shall mount upon Eternitie.
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    No girl who is going to marry need bother to win a college degree; she just naturally becomes a “Master of Arts” and a “Doctor of Philosophy” after catering to an ordinary man for a few years.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    upon these maxims meditate:
    All women dote upon an idle man
    Although their children need a rich estate;
    No man has ever lived that had enough
    Of children’s gratitude or woman’s love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
