Minutes Walk

Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or walk:

    English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.”
    Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)

    If you would grow great and stately,
    You must try to walk sedately.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (19th century)
