Famous quotes containing the word day:
“How can they know
Truth flourishes where the student’s lamp has shone,
And there alone, that have no solitude?
So the crowd come they care not what may come.
They have loud music, hope every day renewed
And heartier loves; that lamp is from the tomb.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“we carry home as prizes
Funny bugs, of handy sizes,
Just to give the day a scientific tone.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly until he knows that every day is Doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
