Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    Oh AndrĂ©, I get so scared sometimes. The suddenness of our age! Electronics, rockets, earth satellites, supersonic flight, and now this.... Everything’s going so fast, I’m just not ready to take it all in. It’s, it’s all so quick.
    James Clavell (b. 1924)

    It is safest to be moderately base—to be flexible in shame, and to be always ready for what is generous, good and just, when anything is to be gained by virtue.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    To be made to hold his tongue is the greatest insult you can offer him—though he might be ready with a poker to make you hold yours.
    Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865–1940)
