Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
    When long delay has given the evil strength.
    Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
    He’ll be less ready who’s not ready now.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
