Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or dial:
“And not an hour ago you hadn’t a penny to warm your pocket. Did someone die and leave you a pot of gold?”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence; he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
