Thou Art Manifest

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

    Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
    Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
    Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yet
    Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
    And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But thou beneath the sad and heavy line
    Of death, doth waste all senseless, cold, and dark;
    Where not so much as dreams of light may shine,
    Nor any thought of greenness, leaf, or bark.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    He’s a wonderful talker, who has the art of telling you nothing in a great harangue.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
