Famous quotes containing the words timed and/or flush:
“When the situation is, what we would wish, nothing is so ill- timed as to hint at the circumstances which make it so: you thank Fortune ... you had reason—the heart knew it, and was satisfied; and who but an English philosopher would have sent notices of it to the brain to reverse the judgment?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
