Mittens/standards

Famous quotes containing the words mittens and/or standards:

    Three little kittens
    They lost their mittens,
    And they began to cry,
    Oh, mother dear,
    We sadly fear
    Our mittens we have lost.
    What! lost your mittens,
    You naughty kittens!
    Then you shall have no pie.
    Eliza Lee Follen (1787–1860)

    As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
