Famous quotes containing the words meridian, west and/or washington:

    I knew that my vocation was found. I had received the call, and having done so, I was sure my work would be assigned me. Of some things we feel quite certain. Inside there is a click, a kind of bell that strikes, when the hands of our destiny meet at the meridian hour.

    Biography is a very definite region bounded on the north by history, on the south by fiction, on the east by obituary, and on the west by tedium.
    Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)

    I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest.

    —George Washington (1732–1799)
