Prior Proper Planning

Famous quotes containing the words prior, proper and/or planning:

    Less smooth than her Skin and less white than her breast
    Was this pollisht stone beneath which she lyes prest
    Stop, Reader, and Sigh while thou thinkst on the rest

    With a just trim of Virtue her Soul was endu’d
    Not affectedly Pious nor secretly lewd,
    She cut even between the Cocquet and the Prude.
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    I loved reading, and had a great desire of attaining knowledge; but whenever I asked questions of any kind whatsoever, I was always told, “such things were not proper for girls of my age to know.”... For “Miss must not enquire too far into things, it would turn her brain; she had better mind her needlework, and such things as were useful for women; reading and poring on books would never get me a husband.”
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Judge Bedford: Planning on having children?
    David: Naturally.
    Judge Bedford: Good, then I know what to get you for a wedding present.
    David: Yeah? What’s that?
    Judge Bedford: A vasectomy.
    Dale Launer (b. 1953)
