Inches Thick

Famous quotes containing the words inches and/or thick:

“The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

“A thick stick in one’s hand makes people respectful.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
