Famous quotes containing the word smart:
“Among the Very Rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“A smart man never suffers certain defeat.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Glorious the northern lights astream;
Glorious the song, when Gods the theme
Glorious the thunders roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyrs gore:
Gloriousmore glorious is the crown
Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deeds achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”
—Christopher Smart (17221771)
