Finished Fourth

Famous quotes containing the words finished and/or fourth:

    Will you greet your doom
    As final; set him loaves and wine; knowing
    The game is finished when he plays his ace,
    And overturn the table and go into the next room?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
