Famous quotes containing the words delay and/or line:

    “Hatred and vengeance, my eternal portion,
    Scarce can endure delay of execution:—
    Wait, with impatient readiness, to seize my
    Soul in a moment.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
    That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
    You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
    Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
    Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
    That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
    There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
