Famous quotes containing the words car and/or years:

    “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
