Famous quotes containing the words listed and/or month:
“I could I trust starve like a gentleman. It’s listed as part of the poetic training, you know.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
