Famous quotes containing the words swiss and/or guard:

    “Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family. Families, however, have absorbed all the stress and strain they possibly can. The entire responsibility for accommodation is taking place on the home side of the equation.”
    —Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)

    “Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, like a trap.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 21:34.35.
