Famous quotes containing the words widow and/or sisters:
“Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here’s to the widow of fifty;
Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
““And yonder stands my brother Hugh,
But by him my William, sweet and true.””
—Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 51–52)
