Secret Show

Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or show:

“Don’t let him know she liked them best,
For this must ever be
A secret kept from all the rest,
Between yourself and me.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
