“With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth”
Samuel Madden
“Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.”
W. Edwards Deming
“Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give”
Bible
“You could not give me toys in those bleak days; So when my playmates proudly boasted theirs, You caught me to the shelter of your arms, And taught me how to laugh away my tears”
DuBose Heyward
“Surfing on the Internet is like sex; everyone boasts about doing more than they actually do. But in the case of the Internet, it's a lot more.”
Tom Fasulo
“Those who boast of their decent, brag on what they owe to others.”
Seneca
