Quotations for week

Thursday come and the week is gone. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

God does not pay every week, but He pays at the end. [ Dutch Proverb ]

Sunday is the golden clasp that binds the volume of the week. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

The wolf does something every week, that hinders him from going to church a Sunday. [ Proverb ]

Example is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh. [ Rev. R. Cecil ]

He will steal himself into a man's favor and for a week escape a great deal of discoveries; but when you find him out, you have him ever after. [ William Shakespeare ]

Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to Him in church once a week, and disobeying Him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words; and more. He asks of thee works first and words after. [ Charles Kingsley ]

He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous living; he who trains us to see old truth under academic formularies may be wise or not, as it chances, but we love to see wisdom in unpretending forms, to recognise her royal features under a week-day vesture. [ Carlyle ]

Occur or Transpire? The misuse of these words is very common. Occur means simply to take place, to happen; transpire to leak out, to come to light. Hence, it is incorrect to say, The annual school exhibition transpired last week. The proper word here is occurred. But transpire is correctly used in such a sentence as, The proceedings of the caucus have not yet transpired. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
