Famous quotes containing the word exhibit:

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We mean to exhibit ourselves here on New Year’s day in homespun [clothing].”
