Famous quotes containing the word young:
“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)
“There was an Old Man who said, ‘Hush!
I perceive a young bird in this bush!’”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“It is of no use to a woman to be young without being beautiful, or to be beautiful without being young.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
