Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

    To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is “misunderstood” or that he is “different”; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil
    By telling truth: tell truth and shame the devil.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
