Time Periods

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or periods:

    These sudden ends of time must give us pause.
    We fray into the future, rarely wrought
    Save in the tapestries of afterthought.
    More time, more time.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
