Famous quotes containing the word show:
“In a democracy—even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-élitist one—the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.”
—Joseph Roux (1834–1886)
“Let this be one invariable rule of your conduct—never to show the least symptom of resentment, which you cannot, to a certain degree, gratify; but always to smile, where you cannot strike.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
