Sundial Quotes

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade? (Benjamin Franklin)

Eleanor Farjeon
I'm not a walking extra in a Chekhov play; I'm no Slavic gloom or Irish gloom. I mark only the happy hours, like the sundial, because otherwise I would have gone nuts. To quote from my script for The Dreamers, never expect justice in the world. That is not part of God's plan. Everybody thinks that if they don't get it, they're some kind of odd man out. And it's not true. Nobody gets justice - people get good luck or bad luck. View quote
