Case

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    “It was a maxim with Mr. Brass that the habit of paying compliments kept a man’s tongue oiled without any expense; and that, as that useful member ought never to grow rusty or creak in turning on its hinges in the case of a practitioner of the law, in whom it should be always glib and easy, he lost few opportunities of improving himself by the utterance of handsome speeches and eulogistic expressions”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, & not of the intellectual faculties.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “My case is thrown exclusively upon the independent voters of this county, and if elected they will have conferred a favor upon me, for which I shall be unremitting in my labors to compensate.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
