Famous quotes containing the words time and/or scale:

“The more important the title, the more self-important the person, the greater the amount of time spent on the Eastern shuttle, the more suspicious the man and the less vitality in the organization.”

To the reformer or reformed.
And yet conversion has its place
Not halfway down the scale of grace.”
