Jelly Babies

Famous quotes containing the words jelly and/or babies:

    Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.
    William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

    Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
