Famous quotes containing the word returns:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“Awakening in the morning returns us to life, and to awareness of death.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
