Famous quotes containing the words clad and/or fiber:

    For hym was levere have at his beddes heed,
    Twenty bookes, clad in blak or reed,
    Of Aristotle and his philosophie,
    Than robes riche, or fithele, or gay sautrie:
    But al be that he was a philosophre,
    Yet hadde he but litel gold in cofre.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)

    I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
