Famous quotes containing the words exact, timing and/or years:

    Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
    William James (1842–1910)

    A great man always considers the timing before he acts.
    Chinese proverb.

    Mily: You must remember me!?
    Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
    My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)
