Begins

Famous quotes containing the word begins:

    If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “No, not another song,” said he,
    “Because my lady came
    A year ago for the first time
    At midnight to my room,
    And I must lie between the sheets
    When the clock begins to chime.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    You do not become a “dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
