Famous quotes containing the word pause:

    Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
    My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
    Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
    Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
    It seemed the best thing to be up and go.
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    This whole business of Trade gives me to pause and think, as it constitutes false relations between men; inasmuch as I am prone to count myself relieved of any responsibility to behave well and nobly to that person who I pay with money, whereas if I had not that commodity, I should be put on my good behavior in all companies, and man would be a benefactor to man, as being himself his only certificate that he had a right to those aids and services which each asked of the other.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
    come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
    Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
    Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.
    Robert Robinson (1735–1790)
