Famous quotes containing the words present and/or fleet:
“You were born into a different world that will present you with different gifts and challenges. A new vision of manhood will be called for that does not tie so closely into the more aggressive and competitive residues of our male character. You will need to search out new ways of expressing strength, showing mastery, and exhibiting courage—ways that do not depend upon confronting the world before you as an adversary.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
