Famous quotes containing the words bids and/or conference:
“Bookworm, break this sloth urbane;
A greater spirit bids thee forth
Than the gray dreams which thee detain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
