Famous quotes containing the word clock:

    “We are hardly ever grateful for a fine clock or watch when it goes right, and we pay attention to it only when it falters, for then we are caught by surprise. It ought to be the other way about.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
