Quotes about pranks (15 Quotes)



    They are pulling the same pranks they are all trying live faster than they should.

She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.

    When I was a player here, the atmosphere was crazy. At that time, there were only two schools and they didn't like us and we didn't like them.
