Special Remainder

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or remainder:

    “I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    ““What have I gained?”
    “Experience,” said Holmes, laughing. “Indirectly it may be of value, you know; you have only to put it into words to gain the reputation of being excellent company for the remainder of your existence.””
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
