Thou Art Manifest

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

    But since our Saviours death did put some bloud
    Into thy face;
    Thou art grown fair and full of grace,
    Much in request, much sought for as a good.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    In honored poverty thy voice did weave
    Songs consecrate to truth and liberty;—
    Deserting these, thou leavest me to grieve,
    Thus having been, that thou shouldst cease to be.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth ... into a liar—that I call an achievement.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    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)
