Stern Show

Famous quotes containing the words stern and/or show:

“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We need more of the Office Desk and less of the Show Window in politics. Let men in office substitute the midnight oil for the limelight.”
