Pause Period

Famous quotes containing the words pause and/or period:

    The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
    The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
    The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
    I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
    Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
    Its echo in my heart.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.
