Famous quotes containing the words time and/or force:
“Now is the time for drinking [nunc est bibendum], now is the time to make the earth shake with dancing.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“We stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley’s ingenious sophistry to prove the non-existence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I shall never forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it, “I refute it thus.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
