Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:
“... my aim is now, as it has been for the past ten years, to make myself a true woman, one worthy of the name, and one who will unshrinkingly follow the path which God marks out, one whose aim is to do all of the good she can in the world and not be one of the delicate little dolls or the silly fools who make up the bulk of American women, slaves to society and fashion.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
““If everybody minded their own business,” the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, “the world would go round a deal faster than it does.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
