Special Things Quotes
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston Churchill
There was one special thing you promised me at the beginning of the affair, and which you have certainly given me by the end of it."What do you mean?" cried the chaotic Gregory. "What did I promise you?"A very entertaining evening," said Syme, and he made a military salute with his sword-stick as the steamboart slid away.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
That was when I first began to think about certain events or specific things being "important" and having "special purpose." Until then, the notion that anything had a designated, much less a special purpose would have been cuckoo to me. I was not what was commonly called a believer then, and I am a believer now; I believe in God, and I believe in the "special purpose" of certain events or specific things.
John Irving
