Concealed

Famous quotes containing the word concealed:

    Pardon, and keep silent, for what is shameful for women must be concealed among women.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    A gift in secret averts anger; and a concealed bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 21:14.

    Art can never match the luxury and superfluity of Nature. In the former all is seen; it cannot afford concealed wealth, and is niggardly in comparison; but Nature, even when she is scant and thin outwardly, satisfies us still by the assurance of a certain generosity at the roots.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
