Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:
“Hearing often-times
The still, sad music of humanity,
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue.”

“This morning, there flew up the lane
A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
And eyed her image dolefully as death;”

“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)
