So is the English Parliament provincial. Mere country bumpkins, they betray themselves, when any more important question arises for them to settle, the Irish question, for instance,--the English question why did I not say? Their natures are subdued to what they work in. Their good breeding respects only secondary objects.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Let not the titles of consanguinity betray you into a prejudicial trust no blood being apter to raise a fever, or cause a consumption sooner in your poor estate, than that which is nearest your own.
Frances Osborne
Image
Indifference must be a crime in us, to be ranked but one degree below treachery for deserting the commonwealth is next to betraying it.
Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke
Image
The fortunate man is the one who cannot take more than a couple of drinks without becoming intoxicated. The unfortunate wight is the one who can take many glasses without betraying a sign who must take numerous glasses in order to get the ‘kick’.
Jack London
Image
The faithful witness, like...Socrates, Voltaire, and Swift and Christ himself, is at his best when he is questioning and clarifying and avoiding the specialists obsession with solution. He betrays society when he is silent...He is true to himself and to people when his clarity causes disquiet.
John Ralston Saul
Image
Because science flourishes, must poesy decline? The complaint serves but to betray the weakness of the class who urge it. True, in an age like the present,-considerably more scientific than poetical,-science substitutes for the smaller poetry of fiction, the great poetry of truth.
Hugh Miller
Image
I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.
Antony Gormley

Caissa, the goddess of chess, had punished me for my conservative play, for betraying my nature.
Garry Kasparov

I feel that as long as you keep running towards your dreams and wish, they'll come true one day. Hard work will not betray ourselves
Minzy
Image
One false idea is that anyone can hurt you. Events can ruin your reputation, take your money, mistreat you, revenge itself upon you, deceive, betray, abandon you, but cannot hurt you.
Vernon Howard
Image
your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.
Sarah Bernhardt
Image
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
Edmund Burke
Image
All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.
Eric Clapton
Image
I will play out the string. I will not betray your trust. I will find you.

Men are strong, women are smart, but no matter how smart, their bellies are always there to betray women and that's their downfall.
Simone Schwarz-Bart

Martin Schulz

Robert A. Burton
Image
It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other.
George Orwell
Image
People are born in a certain place, and in a certain society. I don't mean to sound like a determinist, but to think we're entirely free to do whatever we want betrays a certain class perspective. For most people who have to work for a living, and work at jobs under conditions they may not like, it's just not simple when it comes to freedom.
Thomas Frank
Image
Our policy is simple: We are not going to betray our friends, reward the enemies of freedom, or permit fear and retreat to become American policies — especially in this hemisphere. None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
Image
As the romance of manned space exploration has waned, the drive today is to find our living, thinking counterparts in the universe. For all the excitement, however, the search betrays a profound melancholy - a lonely species in a merciless universe anxiously awaits an answering voice amid utter silence.
Charles Krauthammer
