Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate,—no more. I cannot get it nearer to me.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For more than five years I maintained myself thus solely by the labor of my hands, and I found that, by working about six weeks in a year, I could meet all the expenses of living. The whole of my winters, as well as most of my summers, I had free and clear for study.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
