“Cupid is a knavish lad, Thus to make poor females mad”
William Shakespeare
“Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.”
Monty Python
“The lads ran their socks into the ground.”
Alex Ferguson
“Rise up, lads, the evening is coming. The evening star is just raising his long-awaited light in heaven.”
Catullus
“When all the world is young, lad, / And all the trees are green; / And every goose a swan, lad / And every lass a queen; / Then hey for boot and horse, lad, / And round the world away: / Young blood must have its course, lad,/ And every dog his day.”
Charles Kingsley
“Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.”
John Steinbeck
“If Mr. Clemens cannot think of something better to tell our pure-minded lads and lasses, he had better stop writing for them.”
Louisa May Alcott
