Famous quotes containing the words home and/or run:
“Caesar should be a beast without a heart
If he should stay at home today for fear.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
