Maturing Boys

Famous quotes containing the words maturing and/or boys:

    When a felon’s not engaged in his employment
    Or maturing his felonious little plans,
    His capacity for innocent enjoyment
    Is just as great as any honest man’s.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    It is told that some divorcees, elated by their freedom, pause on leaving the courthouse to kiss a front pillar, or even walk to the Truckee to hurl their wedding rings into the river; but boys who recover the rings declare they are of the dime-store variety, and accuse the throwers of fraudulent practices.
