Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or times:

    The opening of large tracts by the ice-cutters commonly causes a pond to break up earlier; for the water, agitated by the wind, even in cold weather, wears away the surrounding ice.

    A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.
