Case

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    When a cat cries over a rat, it’s a case of false compassion.
    Chinese proverb.

    Wealth is not without its advantages and the case to the contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
