Famous quotes containing the word timing:

    Is it a new spring star
    Within the timing chill,
    Talking, or just a mime,
    That rises in the blood
    Thin Jack-and-Jilling seas
    Without the human will?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

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