Base Year

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or year:

    “Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Last year is dead, they seem to say,
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.”
