Famous quotes containing the words dates and/or ranks:

    “Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire
    What thou dost foist upon us that is old,”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
