Famous quotes containing the words york, white and/or roses:

    Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.

    Things that we do
    ‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
    Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
    Certainly keep us notorious.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    Say that she rail, why then I’ll tell her plain
    She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
    Say that she frown, I’ll say she looks as clear
    As morning roses newly washed with dew.
    Say she be mute, and will not speak a word,
    Then I’ll commend her volubility,
    And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
