Senior Quotes from 1908: Sass, Class, and Latin Puns

Cracked open a 1908 college yearbook, and the senior quotes are absolute gold. No TikTok references or Drake lyrics — just eloquent burns, obscure Latin, and the occasional Shakespeare flex. One guy wrote, “Always late, but worth the wait,” and honestly?

That slaps in any century. Another went full poet: “Life is a jest, and all things show it — I thought so once, and now I know it.” Calm down, Edgar Allan Bro. These graduates didn’t just throw shade — they embroidered it with quills. Turns out, Gen Z didn’t invent sarcasm… the Class of 1908 was already fluent.
