Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or hour:
“If youre anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesnt matter if its only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“To quarrel with the uncertainty that besets us in intellectual affairs would be about as reasonable as to object to live ones life with due thought for the morrow because no man can be sure he will alive an hour hence.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (182595)
