Hardy Boys

Famous quotes containing the words hardy and/or boys:

    Yet I would bear my shortcomings
    With meet tranquility,
    But for the charge that blessed things
    I’d liefer not have be.
    O, doth a bird deprived of wings
    Go earth-bound wilfully!
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    For little boys are rancorous
    When robbed of any myth,
    And spiteful and cantankerous
    To all their kin and kith.
    But little girls can draw conclusions
    And profit from their lost illusions.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
