Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, career, individual and/or events:

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
    —Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)

    “For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb’d,
    And last of all, thy greedy self consum’d,
    Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
    With an individual kiss;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
