Famous quotes containing the words son and/or miles:
“In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
““Here is the steed that saved the day,
By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
From Winchester, twenty miles away!””
