Famous quotes containing the word grey:
“Perhaps you have been busy
Horse-whipping Sal or Lizzie,
Stealing some poor man’s baby,
Selling its mother, maybe.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow’s hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well- spent life.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
