Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or ring:
“Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed
Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued,
And cries reproachful: “Was it then my praise,
And not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth;
I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.””
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them.”
—Amy Vanderbilt (1908–1974)
