Mother Tongue

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or tongue:

“It is one of the most discouraging experiences I have ever had, not forgetting the time when I winked at the Queen Mother in London once.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“She that was ever fair, and never proud,
Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud
...
She that could think, and ne’er disclose her mind,
See suitors following, and not look behind.
She was a wight, if ever such wight were—
To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
