Sterling

Famous quotes containing the word sterling:

    Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
    Meet me at the fair,
    Don’t tell me the lights are shining any place but there.

    The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
    Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)

    Family is the first school for young children, and parents are powerful models.
    —Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
