Famous quotes containing the word stops:
“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
—Phyllis Diller (b. 1917)
“Unquiet wanderer
Draw the Glasnevin coverlet anew
About your head till the dust stops your ear,
The time for you to taste of that salt breath
And listen at the corners has not come;
You had enough of sorrow before death—”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
