Concealed

Famous quotes containing the word concealed:

    The want of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    A gift in secret averts anger; and a concealed bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 21:14.

    Punishment is a fruit that unsuspected ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
