Cases

Famous quotes containing the word cases:

    And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In cases of defense ‘tis best to weigh
    The enemy more mighty than he seems.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For the most part, we are not where we are, but in a false position. Through an infirmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difficult to get out.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
