Smart

Famous quotes containing the word smart:

    Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.
    Louise Lague (20th century)

    Jefferson Smith: If you thought as much as being honest as you do of being smart ...
    Diz: Honest? Why, we’re the only ones who can afford to be honest in what we tell the voters. We don’t have to be re-elected like politicians.
    Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    For he purrs in thankfulness, when God tell him he’s a good Cat.
    For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
