Famous quotes containing the words repeating and/or watches:
“Regretting the past does not prevent me from repeating it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
