Famous quotes containing the words time and/or line:
“It is a truer truth, it is better and fairer news, and no time will ever shame it, or prove it false.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
