meetings

«Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.»

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.»
«Our meetings are held to discuss many problems which would never arise if we held fewer meetings»
«There is one crucial rule that must be followed in all creative meetings: Never speak first. At least at the start, your job is to shut up.»

«Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings;Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.»
