Famous quotes containing the words windows, small and/or business:
“I came on a great house in the middle of the night
Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;
But I woke in an old ruin that the winds howled through;
And when I pay attention I must out and walk
Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Yknow, George, I feel that in a small way were doing something important. Its satisfying a fundamental urge. Its deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace. And were helping him get those things in our shabby little office.”
—Frances Goodrich (18911984)
“Actually, if my business was legitimate, I would deduct a substantial percentage for depreciation of my body.
Contemplative and bookish men must of necessitie be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they goe towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.”
—John Donne (c. 15721631)
