White Persons Born

Famous quotes containing the words white, persons and/or born:

    Soft are the hands of Love,
    but what soft hands
    clutched at the thorny ground,
    scratched like a small white ferret
    or foraging whippet or hound.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    A nation grown free in a single day is a child born with the limbs and the vigour of a man, who would take a drawn sword for his rattle, and set the house in a blaze that he might chuckle over the splendour.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
