Famous quotes containing the words final, years and/or death:

    The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.... The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Then for years and years
    And for miles and miles
    ‘Cross the Aegean Isles,
    Athens, Rome, France, Britain,
    Always West-Northwest ...
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Though you forget the way to the Temple,
    There is one who remembers the way to your door:
    Life you may evade, but Death you shall not.
    You shall not deny the Stranger.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
