Famous quotes containing the word delays:
“What should concern Massachusetts is not the Nebraska Bill, nor the Fugitive Slave Bill, but her own slaveholding and servility. Let the State dissolve her union with the slaveholder.... Let each inhabitant of the State dissolve his union with her, as long as she delays to do her duty.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That we would do
We should do when we would, for this “would” changes,
And hath abatements and delays as many
As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
