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)

“‘tis a duteous thing
To show all honor to an earthly king;”
—Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 21–22)
