Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    It’s my old girl that advises. She has the head. But I never own to it before her. Discipline must be maintained.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The girl who can’t dance says the band can’t play.
    Yiddish proverb.

    I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
