Famous quotes containing the words ann and/or young:

    To act with doubleness towards a man whose own conduct was double, was so near an approach to virtue that it deserved to be called by no meaner name than diplomacy.
    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.”
