Famous quotes containing the words lady, light and/or parish:
“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.... He who works for sweetness and light united, works to make reason and the will of God prevail.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
