Evelyn Baker Lang

Famous quotes containing the words baker and/or lang:

    Unpleasant questions are being raised about Mother’s Day. Is this day necessary? . . . Isn’t it bad public policy? . . . No politician with half his senses, which a majority of politicians have, is likely to vote for its abolition, however. As a class, mothers are tender and loving, but as a voting bloc they would not hesitate for an instant to pull the seat out from under any Congressman who suggests that Mother is not entitled to a box of chocolates each year in the middle of May.
    —Russell Baker (20th century)

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind?
    ...
    We’ll tak a cup o’kindness yet,
    For auld lang syne.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
