Persons Born

Famous quotes containing the words persons and/or born:

“As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals—or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?”
—Rose Macaulay (1881–1958)

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ‘em.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
