Hole Quotations
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.
Mark Twain
Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.
John F. Kennedy
We've demonstrated a strong track record of being very disciplined with the use of our cash. We don't let it burn a hole in our pocket, we don't allow it to motivate us to do stupid acquisitions. And so I think that we'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.
Steve Jobs
The last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of the recession because that would just suck up and take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole.
Barack Obama
We all knew this. We all knew that it would take more time than any of us want to dig ourselves out of this hole created by this economic crisis.
Barack Obama
The cosmos is about the smallest hole that a man can hide his head in.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
Fred Allen
Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind, she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A mouse does not rely on just one hole.
Plautus
A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole.
Plautus
