Fainting Maid

Famous quotes containing the words fainting and/or maid:

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“None but a maid is roused by a love song. And this was a maid, an old maid.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
