Idle Hour

Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or hour:

    No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken. ‘Tis a step out of the chalk circle of imbecility into fruitfulness.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I know that Quiet
    Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
    Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
    Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
    A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
