Famous quotes containing the words tam and/or shan:
“O I forbid you, maidens a’
That wear gowd on your hair,
To come, or gae by Carterhaugh,
For young Tom-lin is there.”
—Unknown. Tam Lin (l. 1–4)
“Becoming more flexible, open-minded, having a capacity to deal with change is a good thing. But it is far from the whole story. Grandparents, in the absence of the social institutions that once demanded civilized behavior, have their work cut out for them. Our grandchildren are hungry for our love and approval, but also for standards being set.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
