Famous quotes containing the words angry, young and/or man:
“Ignorant kindness may have the effect of cruelty; but to be angry with it as if it were direct cruelty would be an ignorant unkindness.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When folks told him so,
He replied, “Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.””
—Anonymous.
“But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon ploughed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool’s life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
