Bowing Hobbit Emblem

Famous quotes containing the words bowing and/or emblem:

    Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    You’re the emblem of
    The land I love,
    The home of the free and the brave.
    George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
