Famous quotes containing the word events:

“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
—Chinese proverb.

“I have no time to read newspapers. If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events which make the news transpire—thinner than the paper on which it is printed—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
