Famous quotes containing the word telling:
“To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is misunderstood or that he is different; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.”
—Helen Rowland (18751950)
“The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children theyre not going to succeed, saying: There is life, but its not for you.”
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
