Alexander Nelson Hood

Famous quotes containing the words nelson and/or hood:

    Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.
    —Paula Nelson (b. 1945)

    Ben Battle was a soldier bold,
    And used to war’s alarms;
    But a cannon-ball took off his legs,
    So he laid down his arms.
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
