Famous quotes containing the words kinds of, kinds, test and/or benches:

    There are two kinds of fathers in traditional households: the fathers of sons and the fathers of daughters. These two kinds of fathers sometimes co-exist in one and the same man. For instance, Daughter’s Father kisses his little girl goodnight, strokes her hair, hugs her warmly, then goes into the next room where he becomes Son’s Father, who says in a hearty voice, perhaps with a light punch on the boy’s shoulder: “Goodnight, Son, see ya in the morning.”
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

    The first reading of a Will, where a person dies worth anything considerable, generally affords a true test of the relations’ love to the deceased.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    And now on benches all are sat
    In the cool air to sit and chat,
    Till Phoebus, dipping in the West,
    Shall lead the world the way to rest.
    Charles Cotton (1630–1687)
