Famous quotes containing the word plans:

    “When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
    with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
    that follow’d,
    And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
    still I was not happy,
    But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
    refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
