Exclusive

Famous quotes containing the word exclusive:

    “With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Every Englishman is convinced of one thing, viz.: That to be an Englishman is to belong to the most exclusive club there is.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “Just as men must give up economic control when their wives share the responsibility for the family’s financial well-being, women must give up exclusive parental control when their husbands assume more responsibility for child care.”
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
