Famous quotes containing the words jonathan swift, swift and/or jonathan:
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“He never courted men in station
Nor persons had in admiration;
Of no man’s greatness was afraid,
Because he sought for no man’s aid.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“People will say we’re in love.”
—Ted Tally, U.S. screenwriter, and Jonathan Demme. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)
