Crowded Hour

Famous quotes containing the words crowded hour, crowded and/or hour:

    Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
    Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
    One crowded hour of glorious life
    Is worth an age without a name.
    Thomas Osbert Mordaunt (1730–1809)

    But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
    Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Out, out, brief candle.
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
