Manifest Confidence

Famous quotes containing the words manifest and/or confidence:

    We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “And you each gentle animal
    In confidence may bind,
    And make them follow at your call,
    If you are always kind.”
    Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
