Young Pretender

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or pretender:

    A young branch takes on all the bends that one gives it.
    Chinese proverb.

    Nature, hating art and pains,
    Baulks and baffles plotting brains;

    Are the apples of her eyes;

    And, by marvel of her own,
    Strikes the loud pretender down.
