Upper Paradise

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or paradise:

“The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Only a fool would refuse to enter a fool’s paradise—when that’s the only paradise he’ll ever have a chance to enter.”
