Famous quotes containing the words time and/or day:

    Many of us carry memories of an influential teacher who may scarcely know we existed, yet who said something at just the right time in our lives to snap a whole world into focus.
    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum.

    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
