Quit

Famous quotes containing the word quit:

“I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The person whose doors I enter with most pleasure, and quit with most regret, never did me the smallest favour.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
