Quotations regarding 'Delay'

Choose a letter: 
None can less afford to delay than the aged sinner. Now is the time. Now or never. You have, as it were, one foot already in the grave. Your opportunities will soon be over. Strive, then, I entreat you, to enter in at the strait gate.
Archibald Alexander, American Clergyman
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Simone de Beauvoir, French Writer (1908-1986)
I grew up in Tom DeLay's district.
Paul Begala, American Journalist (1961-  )
The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn't good for democracy.
Chris Bell, American Politician (1959-  )
I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I'm a Democrat and he's a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas.
Chris Bell, American Politician (1959-  )
One day's delay is another day's lack of progress.
Stuart Bowen, -
Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.
Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish Novelist (1547-1616)

Lacey Chabert, American Actress (1982-  )
We ask the great masses of India to be patient a short time longer, while the cause of freedom is being fought out, not because we want to delay, but because the hard facts of war make a complete change impossible at the moment.
Stafford Cripps, British Politician (1889-1952)
I can't tell you why there's a delay, but stick your head out of the window and you'll know why.
Dizzy Dean, American Athlete (1910-1974)
Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence.
Howard Dean, American Politician (1948-  )
I have been using delay and reverberation since the middle 1960s. I use them to make what is almost inaudible to the ear, audible. I do not use them to play loudly but to make the higher harmonics heard.
Bill Dixon, American Musician (1925-  )
When it comes to federal elections law, Tom DeLay and his special-interest friends live by one set of rules, and everyone else lives by a very different set.
Rahm Emanuel, American Politician (1959-  )
While America's infrastructure needs are substantial, there is no reason to delay completion of the highway bill. Every day of delay means jobs lost, investment opportunities missed and growth sacrificed.
John Engler, American Politician (1948-  )
What's troubling is that the Republicans to defend Mr. DeLay are weakening the ethics process.
Barney Frank, American Politician (1940-  )
You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin, American Politician (1706-1790)
Tom DeLay fears independent thinkers and fighters. I am both.
Martin Frost, American Politician (1942-  )
Social Security's future has gotten worse, and each year we delay reform adds to the cost we are pushing off onto our children.
John Goodman, American Actor (1952-  )
I mean, it's been quite busy, especially with the rain delay the first few days, and then having to play the late evenings, waiting here every day. It's been kind of difficult.
Daniela Hantuchova, Slovakian Athlete (1983-  )
Hungry Joe collected lists of fatal diseases and arranged them in alphabetical order so that he could put his finger without delay on any one he wanted to worry about.
