Famous quotes containing the words year and/or yonder:

    It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.
    Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)

    In yonder Grave a Druid lies
    Where slowly winds the Stealing Wave!
    The Year’s best Sweets shall duteous rise
    To deck its Poet’s sylvan Grave!
    William Collins (1721–1759)
