Ladies

Famous quotes containing the word ladies:

    Prostitutes have very improperly been styled women of pleasure; they are women of pain, or sorrow, of grief, of bitter and continual repentance, without a hope of obtaining a pardon.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 85 (January 1804)

    The eleventh day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Eleven ladies dancing,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 76–78)

    Captain Carpenter rose up in his prime
    Put on his pistols and went riding out
    But had got wellnigh nowhere at that time
    Till he fell in with ladies in a rout.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
