Famous quotes containing the words uniform, prudent and/or act:

    Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    All government—indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act—is founded on compromise and barter.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    You see what happens today. Women act like men and want to be treated like women.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
