Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    Like bright metal on a sullen ground,
    My reformation, glitt’ring o’er my fault,
    Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
    Than that which hath no foil to set it off.

    The elect, the elected . . . they come here bright as dimes,
    and die dishevelled and soft.

    My opinion is that the Northern states will manage somehow to muddle through.
    —John Bright (1811–1889)
