Famous quotes containing the words lang and/or returned:

    For auld lang syne, by dear,
    For auld lang syne,
    We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
    For auld lang syne!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    [My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.
    Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
