Famous quotes containing the word hour:

    We should not say that one man’s hour is worth another man’s hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time’s carcass.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    An hour of winter day might seem too short
    To make it worth life’s while to wake and sport.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A walking shadow, a poor player,
    that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
    And then is heard no more.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
