Delay/generally

Famous quotes containing the words delay and/or generally:

    Face troubles from their birth, for ‘tis too late to cure
    When long delay has given the evil strength.
    Haste then; postpone not to the coming hour: tomorrow
    He’ll be less ready who’s not ready now.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute..
    Edmund Burke (1729–97)
