Vulgar Display

Famous quotes containing the words vulgar and/or display:

    Heaven grant him now some noble nook,
    For, rest his soul! he’d rather be
    Genteelly damn’d beside a Duke,
    Than sav’d in vulgar company.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
