Mother Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or rooney:

    Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far- reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother’s Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    But off with your hat and three times three for Columbia’s
    true-blue sons,
    The men below who batter the foe—the men behind the guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
