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)

    “Then for a moment all there was was size,
    Confusion, and a roar that drowned the cries
    He raised against the gods in the machine.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
