Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

“His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

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

“There is also something excellent in every audience,—the capacity of virtue. They are ready to be beatified.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
