Ready Steady

Famous quotes containing the words ready and/or steady:

In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring
Intricate rented world begins to rouse.”

“To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
