Unguarded Moment

Famous quotes containing the words unguarded and/or moment:

    A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    A moment in time but time was made through that moment: for without the meaning there is no time, and that moment of time gave the meaning.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
