Spare Time

Famous quotes containing the words spare and/or time:

    If, as they say, God spanked the town
    For being over-frisky,
    Why did He burn all the churches down
    And spare Hotaling’s Whiskey?
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    In the middle of the night, as indeed each time that we lay on the shore of a lake, we heard the voice of the loon, loud and distinct, from far over the lake. It is a very wild sound, quite in keeping with the place and the circumstances of the traveler, and very unlike the voice of a bird. I could lie awake for hours listening to it, it is so thrilling.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
