Famous quotes containing the word occasions:
“How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There are occasions when I would rather feel like a fly than a spider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The secret of success in society, is a certain heartiness and sympathy. A man who is not happy in the company, cannot find any word in his memory that will fit the occasion. All his information is a little impertinent. A man who is happy there, finds in every turn of the conversation equally lucky occasions for the introduction of that which he has to say.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
