Case

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    While the light burning within may have been divine, the outer case of the lamp was assuredly cheap enough. Whitman was, from first to last, a boorish, awkward poseur.
    Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)

    Massachusetts sat waiting Mr. Loring’s decision.... It was really the trial of Massachusetts. Every moment that she hesitated to set this man free, every moment that she now hesitates to atone for her crime, she is convicted. The commissioner on her case is God; not Edward G. God, but simply God.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
