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)

    What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens—when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
