Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Three years she grew in sun and shower,
    Then Nature said, ‘A lovelier flower
    On earth was never sown;
    This Child I to myself will take;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Belief is with them mechanical, voluntary: they believe what they are paid for—they swear to that which turns to account. Do you suppose, that after years spent in this manner, they have any feeling left answering to the difference between truth and falsehood?
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
