Famous quotes containing the words small and/or day:
“Enthusiasm. A distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his child’s outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the child’s innocence.”
