Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

“The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before....

—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“To be ready to fail is to be prepared for success.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)

“A man should ever, as much as in him lieth, be ready booted to take his journey.”
