Famous quotes containing the words dong and/or son:

    “With hym ther was a plowman, was his brother,
    That hadde ylad of dong ful many a fother.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
