Busy

Famous quotes containing the word busy:

“The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by thy flood,
And lost in following years.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

“That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.”
—George Burns (b. 1896)
