Famous quotes containing the words year and/or danger:
“The young pines springing up in the corn-fields from year to year are to me a refreshing fact.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now you courtly dames and knights,
That study only strange delights,
Though you scorn the home-spun gray
And revel in your rich array;
Though your tongues dissemble deep
And can your heads from danger keep:
Yet for all your pomp and train,
Securer lives the silly swain.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
