Dear

Famous quotes containing the word dear:

    How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
    When fond recollection presents them to view!
    The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
    And every loved spot which my infancy knew,
    Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)

    Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby “it.”
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
