Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or senior:

    There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
