Plain Brown Wrapper

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or brown:

    Women are hard and proud and stubborn-hearted,
    Their heads being turned with praise and flattery;
    And that is why their lovers are afraid
    To tell them a plain story.

    He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
