Famous quotes containing the words queen, counsel and/or dress:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“But thus I counsel you, my friends: mistrust everyone in whom the impulse to punish is strong!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments.

—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
