Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    “Have no lit candles in your room,”
    That love lady said,
    “That I at midnight by the clock
    May creep into your bed,
    For if I saw myself creep in
    I think I should drop dead.”
    O my dear, O my dear.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It is always right to detect a fraud, and to perceive a folly; but it is very often wrong to expose either. A man of business should always have his eyes open, but must often seem to have them shut.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
