Famous quotes containing the words acquaintances of, alice and/or young:
“I often accuse my finest acquaintances of an immense frivolity; for, while there are manners and compliments we do not meet, we do not teach one another the lessons of honesty and sincerity that the brutes do, or of steadiness and solidity that the rocks do. The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“A young fellow ought to be wiser than he should seem to be; and an old fellow ought to seem wise whether he really be so or not.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
