Famous quotes containing the word classes:

    One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    ... too much attention is paid to dress by those who have neither the excuse of ample means nor of social claims.... The injury done by this state of things to the morals and the manners of our lower classes is incalculable.
    Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

    There are two classes of men called poets. The one cultivates life, the other art,... one satisfies hunger, the other gratifies the palate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
