Famous quotes containing the word visits:
“The soul is no traveler; the wise man stays at home, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still and shall make men sensible by the expression of his countenance that he goes, the missionary of wisdom and virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign and not like an interloper or a valet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Dr. Craigle: A good man, completely reliable. Not given to overcharging and stringing visits out, the way some do.

Dr. Craigle: I suppose you’re right. I suppose some of us do it, too. Not just the Chosen People.”
—Moss Hart (1904–1961)
“At La Scala it is customary to take no more than twenty minutes for those little visits one pays to boxes.”
