Famous quotes containing the words humble and/or boy:
“Lord, Thou hast given me a cell
Wherein to dwell;
And little house, whose humble roof
Is weather-proof;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
