Guardian

Famous quotes containing the word guardian:

    It’s not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It’s the one that says “To whom it may concern.”
    —Anonymous Belfast Resident. quoted in Guardian (London, Oct. 16, 1991)

    If the guardian or the mother
    Tell the woes of willful waste,
    Scorn their counsel and their pother,
    You can hang or drown at last.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
