Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

    The spendthrift rich never have enough, but the thrifty poor always have a little put by.
    Chinese proverb.

    In most other modern societies working mothers are not put under these special and exaggerated pressures. For example, French and English mothers often prefer to breast-feed their babies, but they do not feel that their womanhood is at stake if they fail to do so. Nor does anyone else.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
