Sir Allan Napier

Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or napier:

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways, it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children—not just in the words they say, but in the lives they lead.
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
