Hour Dial

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or dial:

“...I never drink wine ... I keep my hands soft and supple ... I sleep in a soft bed and never over-tire my body. It is because when my hour strikes I must be a perfect instrument. My eyes must be steady, my brain clear, my nerves calm, my aim true. I must be prepared to do my work, successfully if God wills. But if I perish, I perish.”
—Lisa, Russian terrorist (anonymous)

“The bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
