Mary B. Harris

Famous quotes containing the words mary b, mary and/or harris:

    ... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    And the song she was singing ever since
    In my ear sounds on:—
    “Stay at home, pretty bees, fly not hence!
    Mistress Mary is dead and gone!”
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    You overfed the boy, Ma’am. You raised an artificial spirit in the lad, unbecoming to his station on life. This would never have happened if you kept him on gruel.
    —Vernon Harris (c. 1910)
