Top Good Nanny Quotes

Good Nanny Quotes By Sarah Alderson

Good Nanny Quotes By Iggy Azalea

I would get my Grandma to make me leopard skin dresses on her sewing machine. — Iggy Azalea

If schools and teachers did a good job and inspired children and made them enthusiastic about every subject, they would only be sadly disappointed when they got out into the real world. Better to disappoint them when they're young. It is more important to learn to cope with disappointment than learn how to do long division." - Nanny Piggins — R.A. Spratt

Good Nanny Quotes By Terry Pratchett

Then Magrat, who in Nanny Ogg's opinion had an innocent talent for treading on dangerous ground, said: "I wonder if we did the right thing? I'm sure it was a job for a handsome prince." "Hah!" said Granny, who was riding ahead. "And what good would that be? Cutting your way through a bit of bramble is how you can tell he's going to be a good husband, is it?

Magrat liked to think she was good with children, and worried that she wasn't. She didn't like them very much, and worried about this too.

To Tiffany's surprise, Nanny Ogg was weeping gently. Nanny took another swig from her flagon and wiped her eyes. 'Cryin' helps sometimes,' she said. 'No shame in tears for them as you've loved.

"What would you take out then, Walter?" Nanny said.
