Famous quotes containing the word fitting:

    The most fitting monuments this nation can build are schoolhouses and homes for those who do the work of the world. It is no answer to say that they are accustomed to rags and hunger. In this world of plenty every human being has a right to food, clothes, decent shelter, and the rudiments of education.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Charmian. It is well done, and fitting for a princess
    Descended of so many royal kings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
