Famous quotes containing the word plan:

    Max Detweiler: I get a fiendish delight thinking of you as the mother of seven. How do you plan to do it?
    The Baroness: Darling, haven’t you heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?
    Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.
    Hannah More (1745–1833)
