Famous quotes containing the word telling:
“To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is misunderstood or that he is different; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.”
—Helen Rowland (18751950)
“The worst fault of the working classes is telling their children theyre not going to succeed, saying: There is life, but its not for you.”
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
“Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbors advice? There is a nearer neighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
