Famous quotes containing the words class, missile and/or boats:
“The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”
