Toys

Famous quotes containing the word toys:

    The child that is not clean and neat,
    With lots of toys and things to eat,
    He is a naughty child, I’m sure—
    Or else his dear Papa is poor.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Man hath still either toys or care:
    But hath no root, nor to one place is tied,
    But ever restless and irregular,
    About this earth doth run and ride.
    He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
    He says it is so far,
    That he has quite forgot how to go there.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    If, during his daily walk, he met any children flying kites, playing marbles, or whirling peg tops, he would buy the toys from them and exhort them not to gamble or indulge in vain sport.
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
