Late

Famous quotes containing the word late:

“It is a mischievous notion that we are come late into nature; that the world was finished a long time ago. As the world was plastic and fluid in the hands of God, so it is ever to so much of his attributes as we bring to it. To ignorance and sin, it is flint. They adapt to themselves to it as they may; but in proportion as a man has anything in him divine, the firmament flows before him and takes his signet and form.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“He was always late on principle, his principle being that punctuality is the thief of time.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“It is too late to be studying Hebrew; it is more important to understand even the slang of to-day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
