Famous quotes containing the words white and/or guard:

    Black women ... work because their husbands can’t make enough money at their jobs to keep everything going.... They don’t go to work to find fulfillment, or adventure, or glamour and romance, like so many white women think they are doing. Black women work out of necessity.
    Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)

    Harsh necessity, and the newness of my kingdom, force me to do such things and to guard my frontiers everywhere.
