Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or tail:
“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. They have courage but no endurance, enterprise, or energy. The lower class are cowardly, cunning, and lazy. The height of their ambition is to shoot a Yankee from some place of safety.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“And how do you know that youre mad?
To begin with, the Cat said, a dogs not mad. You grant that?
I suppose so, said Alice.
Well then, the Cat went on, you see a dog growls when its angry, and wags its tail when its pleased. Now I growl when Im pleased, and wag my tail when Im angry. Therefore Im mad.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
