Famous quotes containing the word occasions:
“There is occasions and causes why and wherefore in all things.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”
