Pretty Guardian Sailor

Famous quotes containing the words pretty, guardian and/or sailor:

    [In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
    It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].
    Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    If the guardian or the mother
    Tell the woes of willful waste,
    Scorn their counsel and their pother,
    You can hang or drown at last.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    The soger frae the wars returns,
    The sailor frae the main,
    But I hae parted frae my Love,
    Never to meet again, my dear,
    Never to meet again.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
