Famous quotes with Imminently

  • In days when the public safety is imminently threatened, and the fate of a nation may hang upon a single act, we owe frank speech, above all other men, to him who is highest in authority. I shall speak to you as man to man.
    Robert Dale Owen
  • Sarai had treasured every stage of Rachel’s childhood, enjoying the day-to-day of things; a normalcy which she quietly accepted as the best of life.

    Dan Simmons
