Famous quotes containing the words hour, records and/or holders:

    “Ah God! that it were possible
    For one short hour to see
    The souls we loved, that they might tell us
    What and where they be. . . .”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “Their holders have always seemed to me like a woman who should undertake at a state fair to run a sewing machine, under pretense of advertising it, while she had never spent an hour in learning its use.”
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
