Famous quotes containing the words events and/or april:

    Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
