Day Marks

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or marks:

    This Day, whate’er the Fates decree;
    Shall still be kept with Joy by me:
    This Day then, let us not be told,
    That you are sick, and I grown old,
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain it; and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but, as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
