Famous quotes containing the words total, stopping and/or time:
“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Hamlet. To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may
not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, till a
find it stopping a bung-hole?
Horatio. ‘Twere to consider too curiously to consider so.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“They have gone about the world like wind,
But little time had they to pray
For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
And what, God help us, could they save?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
