Famous quotes containing the words total, convoy and/or losses:

    Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit, has, in course of time, become so complicated that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes, without coming to total disagreement as to all the premises.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Pilgrim-manned, the Mayflower in a dream
    Has been her anxious convoy in to shore.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
    The Day will come too soon.
    Young maids will curse thee, if thou steal’st away
    And leav’st their losses open to the day.
    Stay, stay, and hide
    The blushes of the bride.
    Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
