Famous quotes containing the word persons:

    “No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man’s heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.”
    —Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)

    “We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.”
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
