Famous quotes containing the word dear:
“The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the the land,
In England there shall be dear breadin Ireland, sword and brand;
And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand,
So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand,
Of the fine old English Tory days;
Hail to the coming time!”

For all shes aged and poor and slow,
And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever shes poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away.”
