Famous quotes containing the word upper:

    “Like many of the Upper Class He liked the Sound of Broken Glass.”
    —Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    “The stately Homes of England,
    How beautiful they stand,
    To prove the upper classes
    Have still the upper hand.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in. They have courage but no endurance, enterprise, or energy. The lower class are cowardly, cunning, and lazy. The height of their ambition is to shoot a Yankee from some place of safety.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
