Sixteen

Famous quotes containing the word sixteen:

    Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death.

    If you think that nobility consists of having sixteen ancestors rather than merit, great Prince, then you may—and you may also praise or condemn me.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.
    Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
