Famous quotes containing the words time and/or measurement:
“... the present
A time traditionally soured,
A time unrecommended by event.”

“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
