Boys Lost Men

Famous quotes containing the words boys, lost and/or men:

    As our boys and men are all expecting to be Presidents, so our girls and women must all hold themselves in readiness to preside in the White House; and in no city in the world can honest industry be more at a discount than in this capital of the government of the people.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    A woman hostage
    will call a young thief “hero”
    and look at him with love,
    even if she’s lost her mind with grief
    because her family
    has been slaughtered.
    As far as virtues go,
    who can hold a grudge?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
