Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
