Deserves

Famous quotes containing the word deserves:

“I know of one who deserves to be called the Tree-hater, and, perhaps, to leave this for a new patronymic to his children. You would think that he had been warned by an oracle that he would be killed by the fall of a tree, and so was resolved to anticipate them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
