Famous quotes containing the words main and/or sights:

    I had one life. And what did I do? Wasted it in some palooka preliminaries in Spain, just before Hitler and Chamberlain warm up for the main event.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    We can’t always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go
