National Golden Gloves

Famous quotes containing the words national, golden and/or gloves:

    Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    All in the golden afternoon
    Full leisurely we glide;
    For both our oars, with little skill,
    By little arms are plied,
    While little hands make vain pretense
    Our wanderings to guide.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    I saw her hand, she has a leathern hand,
    A freestone-colored hand. I verily did think
    That her old gloves were on, but ‘twas her hands.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
