St John Fisher

Famous quotes containing the words john and/or fisher:

    Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
    Some kind unbodied post
    Sent from the shades below!
    I strangely long to know
    Whether the nobler chaplets wear
    Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
    Or those that were used kindly.
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
    —Dorothy Canfield Fisher (20th century)
