Telling

Famous quotes containing the word telling:

    The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children they’re not going to succeed, saying: “There is life, but it’s not for you.”
    John Mortimer (b. 1923)

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