Famous quotes containing the words days of, days, wine and/or roses:

    Do not human beings have a hard service on earth, and are not their days like the days of a laborer? Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like laborers who look for their wages, so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 7:1-3.

    It was a comfort in those succeeding days to sit up and contemplate the majestic panorama of mountains and valleys spread out below us and eat ham and hard boiled eggs while our spiritual natures reveled alternately in rainbows, thunderstorms, and peerless sunsets. Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Good wine warms people’s faces; good money warms their hearts.
    Chinese proverb.

    But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
