The American father... Is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher Picture Quote #1

I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated Picture Quote #1

Experience, already reduced to a group of impressions, is ringed round for each one of us by that thick wall of personality through which no real voice has ever pierced on it's way to us, or from us to that which we can only conjecture to be without Picture Quote #1

The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall Picture Quote #1

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our english dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility: but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger Picture Quote #1

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, this Earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, this other Eden, demi-paradise, this fortress built by nature for herself against infection and the hand of war, this happy breed of men, this little world, this precious stone set in the silver sea, which serves it in the office of a wall or as a moat defensive to a house, against the envy of less happier lands, this blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England Picture Quote #1

We regard the photograph, the picture on our wall, as the object itself (the man, landscape, and so on) depicted there. This need not have been so. We could easily imagine people who did not have this relation to such pictures. Who, for example, would be repelled by photographs, because a face without color and even perhaps a face in reduced proportions struck them as inhuman Picture Quote #1

Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them Picture Quote #1

On Wall Street he and a few others - how many? three hundred, four hundred, five hundred? had become precisely that... Masters of the Universe Picture Quote #1

Mark my words, when a society has to resort to the lavatory for it's humour, the writing is on the wall Picture Quote #1

If the Scottish want to break away, I shall stand on Hadrian's Wall with a teary handkerchief, and say: 'Good riddance to the lot of you, and take your stupid bagpipes with you.' Picture Quote #1

And I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them Picture Quote #1

Take care what you say before a wall, as you cannot tell who may be behind it Picture Quote #1

Shapes of all sorts and sizes, great and small, that stood along the floor and by the wall; and some loquacious vessels were; and some listen'd perhaps, but never talk'd at all Picture Quote #1

I don’t go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people Picture Quote #1

My dad sent Frank Sinatra a dollar bill to autograph, and when it came back, signed, he had it framed: it was always up on the wall in whatever flat we were in Picture Quote #1

Some voices never manage to break properly. But in all good men there lurks a true note, I won’t say like a mouse in a trap, but rather like a mouse between wall and wainscoting Picture Quote #1

Look at this window: it is nothing but a hole in the wall, but because of it the whole room is full of light. So when the faculties are empty, the heart is full of light Picture Quote #1

A battering ram can knock down a city wall, but it cannot stop a hole. Different things have different uses Picture Quote #1

Phillipsburg was the name of one those badly drawn fortresses resembling a fool with his nose too close to the wall Picture Quote #1

We can never be prepared for everything. No one person can anticipate all of life. In fact, overpreparation is yet another way to wall ourselves in from life Picture Quote #1

My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there’s a challenge, go for it. If there’s a wall to break down, break it down Picture Quote #1

Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body’s final fall, nor the barrels of death’s rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world Picture Quote #1
