Mother Tongue

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or tongue:

“My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“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)
