Task Waits

Famous quotes containing the words task and/or waits:

“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)

“Like a frog, the aphorist waits for something to fly by that he can catch with his tongue.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
