Beginning

Famous quotes containing the word beginning:

    Examinations, sir, are pure humbug from beginning to end. If a man is a gentleman, he knows quite enough, and if he is not a gentleman, whatever he knows is bad for him.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:30.

    Peter.

    Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means “full stop” like in punctuation. That’s stupid as well. A period isn’t a full stop. It’s a new beginning. I don’t mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean it’s a new beginning to the month, relief that you’re not pregnant, when you don’t have to have a child.
    Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
