Seals Show

Famous quotes containing the words seals and/or show:

“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“If you were born to honor, show it now;
If put upon you, make the judgment good
That thought you worthy of it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
