Final Stops

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or stops:

“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
—Phyllis Diller (20th century)
