Famous quotes containing the word day:

    If any proof were needed of the progress of the cause for which I have worked, it is here tonight. The presence on the stage of these college women, and in the audience of all those college girls who will some day be the nation’s greatest strength, will tell their own story to the world.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    Men are the only animals that devote themselves, day in and day out, to making one another unhappy. It is an art like any other. Its virtuosi are called altruists.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Re-born, he was in the other life, the greater day of the human consciousness. And he was lone and apart from the little day, and out of contact with the daily people.
