Famous quotes containing the words guide to, guide and/or dances:

    Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide to the future.
    Chinese proverb.

    The children [on TV] are too well behaved and are reasonable beyond their years. All the children pop in with exceptional insights. On many of the shows the children’s insights are apt to be unexpectedly philosophical. The lesson seems to be, “Listen to little children carefully and you will learn great truths.”
    —G. Weinberg. originally quoted in “What Is Television’s World of the Single Parent Doing to Your Family?” TV Guide (August 1970)

    Annie: Dances like Pavaliver, that child.
    George Grainger: Dances like who?
    Annie: Pavaliver—the Russian dancer. Don’t be so ignorant.
    Reginald Berkeley (1890–1935)
