Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    We construct our life for one person and, when finally we are ready to receive that person in our life, she does not come, then dies in our eyes and we live as prisoners of that which was meant only for her.

    Yes! ready money is Aladdin’s lamp.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
