Famous quotes containing the word dates:
“Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire
What thou dost foist upon us that is old,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
