Famous quotes containing the words chronological table, table, number and/or hit:

    “If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man’s life would only serve to make a chronological table—a fool’s notion of history.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 24:30,31.

    The Emmaus story.

    “It is the quality of the moment, not the number of days, or events, or of actors, that imports.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Major Bagley: So they really got the Arizona.
    Captain Quincannon: Yes, sir. Hickham Field was hit just as bad as Pearl Harbor, lot of fifth column work.
    Major Bagley: I’ve studied all the wars in history, gentlemen, and I’ve never come across any dirty treachery like that.”
    —Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
