Time Act

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or act:

    Their time past, pulled down
    cracked and flung to the fire
    Mgo up in a roar

    All recognition lost, burnt clean
    clean in the flame, the green
    dispersed,
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
