Bell Quotations
When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung. Henry Ward Beecher When that bell rang, I wanted to go out there and do my thing. Gerry Cooney In the beginning, everybody that gets to work with me, thinks I'm nice. But three weeks later, they hear a bell ringing. Then they realise I meant everything I said during that first week. It's not my fault people are not taking me serious from the first moment. Andrew Eldritch Once that bell rings you're on your own. It's just you and the other guy. Joe Louis Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne |
