Famous quotes containing the word deserves:

“The Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than “Commissioned 1940. Sank 1941. Engagements, none. Shots fired, none.” Now you can’t let her go that way. That’s like a beautiful woman dying an old maid.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

“He well deserves to be called, as he has been called, the Defender of the Constitution.... He is not a leader, but a follower. His leaders are the men of ‘87.”
