Famous quotes containing the words delay and/or line:

    “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)

    “That’s the down-town frieze,
    Principally the church steeple,
    A black line beside a white line;
    And the stack of the electric plant,
    A black line drawn on flat air.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
