Sir John Gladstone

Famous quotes containing the words sir john, sir and/or john:

    And as the sun above the light doth bring,
    Though we behold it in the air below,
    So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
    Though in the body she her powers do show.
    Sir John Davies (1569–1626)

    Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel,
    And death in ambush lay in every pill.
    Samuel, Sir Garth (1661–1719)

    The very fact that there are experts may be intimidating; we hate to think that there must be one best way to handle any situation as parents and that we don’t know what it is. So as we get more and more advice we seem less and less sure of what we ought to do for our children.
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
