Puffed Upper Sleeves

Famous quotes containing the words puffed, upper and/or sleeves:

    And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 13:3-4.

    The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in. They have courage but no endurance, enterprise, or energy. The lower class are cowardly, cunning, and lazy. The height of their ambition is to shoot a Yankee from some place of safety.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    McCarthyism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled.
    Joseph McCarthy (1908–1957)
