Topped British Box

Famous quotes containing the words topped, british and/or box:

    Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    Gaze not on swans, in whose soft breast,
    A full-hatched beauty seems to nest
    Nor snow, which falling from the sky
    Hovers in its virginity.
    Henry Noel, British poet, and William Strode, British poet. Beauty Extolled (attributed to Noel and to Strode)

    If you like to make things out of wood, or sew, or dance, or style people’s hair, or dream up stories and act them out, or play the trumpet, or jump rope, or whatever you really love to do, and you love that in front of your children, that’s going to be a far more important gift than anything you could ever give them wrapped up in a box with ribbons.
    Fred M. Rogers (20th century)
