Famous quotes containing the word swiss:

    You know there’s only two things more beautiful than a good gun—a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere.
    Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)

    Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family. Families, however, have absorbed all the stress and strain they possibly can. The entire responsibility for accommodation is taking place on the home side of the equation.
    —Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)

    Nothing sets a person up more than having something turn out just the way it’s supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss snowdrift and seeing a big dog come up with a little cask of brandy round its neck.
    Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
