Thou Art Manifest

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou, art and/or manifest:

    Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
    A swollen magpie in a fitful sun,

    Pull down thy vanity
    How mean thy hates
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Men, my dear, are very queer animals, a mixture of horse- nervousness, ass-stubbornness, and camel-malice—with an angel bobbing about unexpectedly like the apple in the posset, and when they can do exactly as they please, they are very hard to drive.
    Oh, England. Sick in head and sick in heart,
    Sick in whole and every part,
    And yet sicker thou art still
    For thinking that thou art not ill.
    Thomas Henry Anonymous (1825–95)

    The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    You should never assume contempt for that which it is not very manifest that you have it in your power to possess, nor does a wit ever make a more contemptible figure than when, in attempting satire, he shows that he does not understand that which he would make the subject of his ridicule.
    William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
