Shows

Famous quotes containing the word shows:

“A well-proportioned mind is one which shows no particular bias; one of which we may safely say that it will never cause its owner to be confined as a madman, tortured as a heretic, or crucified as a blasphemer. Also, on the other hand, that it will never cause him to be applauded as a prophet, revered as a priest, or exalted as a king. Its usual blessings are happiness and mediocrity.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“... the intellect, everywhere invasive, shows everywhere its shallowing effect.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“When the reptile is attacked at one mouth of his burrow, he shows himself at another.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
