Famous quotes containing the word weeks:
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know whats come to pass,
They wont lay out their money on the dead
It costs three francs for every mass thats said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“... Estelles run off.
Yes, whats it all about? When did she go?
Two weeks since.
Shes in earnest, it appears.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealedand we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumns election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
