Famous quotes containing the words hot water, domestic, hot and/or water:

    A woman is like a teabag—only in hot water do you realize how strong she is.
    Nancy Reagan (b. 1923)

    The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    But the hot hell that always in him burns,
    Though in mid Heaven, soon ended his delight,
    And tortures him now more, the more he sees
    Of pleasure not for him ordained. Then soon
    Fierce hate he recollects, and all his thoughts
    Of mischief, gratulating, thus excites:
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    He said he couldn’t make the boy believe
    He could find water with a hazel prong—
    Which showed how much good school had ever done him.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
