Older Palaces

Famous quotes containing the words older and/or palaces:

“Tailor’s work—the finishing of men’s outside garments—was the “trade” learned most frequently by women in [the 1820s and 1830s], and one or more of my older sisters worked at it; I think it must have been at home, for I somehow or somewhere got the idea, while I was a small child, that the chief end of woman was to make clothing for mankind.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.”
